SOUTHERN RIPE

HR = High Resistance. IR = Intermediate Resistance. To find out more about disease resistance and the applicable levels of disease resistance, click here.

In the ongoing efforts to further harmonization of resistance claims, the European seed industry through Euroseeds reviewed the resistance claims for Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in tomato and pepper and agreed from March 10, 2020 that the harmonized resistance claims for TSWV:0 will be Intermediate Resistant (IR) for both tomato and pepper. As a result of this harmonization companies that previously claimed HR will adjust their claims to IR for the products involved. This adjustment is made to further increase transparency and consistency in the communication on resistance claims and does not imply any change in the effectiveness of the resistance nor any change in the genetic makeup of the varieties for which this change is made.

Performance may vary from location to location and from year to year, as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible and should consider the impacts of these conditions on the grower’s fields. Any recommendations provided on this webpage are based upon field observations and feedback received from a limited number of trials and geographies. These recommendations should be considered as one reference point and should not be substituted for the professional opinion of agronomists, entomologists or other relevant experts evaluating specific conditions.
