??Tomato varieties with Spotted Wilt Resistance??

tlcmd · January 13, 2007

Has anyone found an indeterminante variety which has spotted wilt resistance? (Piedmont area of N.C.)

Thanks,
Dick

There are a few hybrids that are supposed to be resistant or tolerant of the virus but I've not grown any. I believe the first was BHN444 and there might be two more that followed. All are available at TGS and I think at least one is available at Johnny's.

I'd say Stump of the World is very resistant to TSWV - it's the one variety that has not been infected in a garden bed where 95% of the plants are infected to varying degree.

I was able to pick three fruits from my SOTW last season and then I had to pull the plant because of the virus.
