I had already looked up RST-04-106-T Rootstock at Tomato Growers. It was the first place I thought of. Worth sent me a lot of seeds from 2007 Tomato Growers and I've had a very high germination rate of true varieties.
I am going to cite it http://www.tomatogrowers.com/RST-04-...ductinfo/2812/ It says - "RST-04-106-T Hybrid Rootstock #2812 (20 seeds) This rootstock was developed for growers who face a wide variety of soil diseases. Along with strong resistance to bacterial wilt, this rootstock is also resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, three races of Fusarium wilt, corky root rot, and nematodes."
Bill, I looked up http://www.neseed.com/Tomato-Rootsto...-T-p/34002.htm It is cheaper to buy more quantity. It says - "This is a strong rootstock variety with thick stalks and vigorous growth. It improves the vegetative growth of the scion variety. It is suitable for soil production systems. It is resistant to ToMV, FOR Races 0 and 1, FW Races 0,1 and 2 and BW."
ToMV is Tomato Mosaic Virus. FW is Fusarium Wilt. BW is Bacterial Wilt.
I had to look up Bacterial Wilt http://tomatodiseasehelp.com/treat-bacterial-wilt I did see tomato plants looking like that in 2015 when it rained 73+". Our average yearly rainfall is around 38". I didn't see leaves looking like that in 2016 or this year so far.
I just noticed neither of you are here as I'm typing this edit/add on. The plant that started wilting yesterday has no yellowing. The other thing is if there is Bacterial Wilt happening, I have done the stems in a clear jar of water test twice with three different plants and there is nothing milky looking showing.
The varieties of tomatoes that I want to grow grafted are Rebel Yell, Porter, Sweetie cherry, and a few other pink when ripe tomatoes. |
Rebel Yell does good with the RST-04-106-T root stock for me. Some others that do great are Limbaugh's Legacy, Brandywine Cowlick's and Sudduth's, Royal Hillbilly, Henderson's Winsall, Giant Belgium, Spudakee, Indian Stripe PL and RL, Donskoi, Pruden's Purple, Aunt Ginnies Purple, Red Barn, Neves Azorean Red, 1884, Couilles de Taureau, German Johnson PL, Stump of the World, Dester, Granny Cantrell and Kentucky Wonder to name a few.
