15 Tasty Tomato Hybrid Varieties

by

Tomatoes are more frequently weakened by disease than by insects, but several diseases are easily prevented by growing resistant varieties. The disease-resistant hybrids named below are famous for good flavor and represent a range of forms and colors. The letters indicate disease resistance:

V-Verticillium wilt is caused by a soil-borne fungus that causes plants to wilt and die while they are still green, usually then they being loading up with fruit.

F-Fusarium wilt fungi enter through roots and cause plants to turn yellow as they slowly wilt to death, often while holding green fruit. Two Fs indicated resistance to two different strains of fusarium.

N-Nematodes are a concern mostly in warm, sandy soil. These microscopic pests cannot attack the roosts of resistant varieties.

T-Tobacco mosaic virus is seldom a serious disease in gardens, though sometimes it occurs in serious regional outbreaks.
