Agronomic Tips
- Suitable for artificial growing environment. In its 1st year screening it showed 3 blind heads in 24 heads when grafted on Maxifort and pinched on cotyledons. No blinds reported in 2nd year of screening where plants were pinched on 2nd true leaf. Blossom End Scar (BES) incidence is potentially high. It was seen more BES in DRTH5013 vs varieties like Torero, Ducovery, Touche and Kivu and can be a problem early in season and or when plants are vegetative. Overall quality of fruits not an improvement if consider the incidence of BES. Outside the BES, the fruit quality is an improvement for its glossiness. Not higher yield potential than Kivu – leading competitor from RZ. So far we have no indication this material delivers higher yield than Torero but can be aligned with same potential. When grafted, it is recommended to pinch on the 2nd true leaf to minimize potential incidence of blind heads. Grafting on DR0141TX for long crops in areas traditionally known to having warm summers is recommended. Grafting on Maxifort and Multifort is possible too. Can be grown ungrafted however crop length and climate conditions must be taken into account as limiting factors. Growing ungrafted can deliver better fruit quality early in season with less incidence of BES. Fruit fall: avoid heat and humidity stress during periods of low light level. It is recommended to use a specific strategy to minimize fruit fall incidence, focusing on leaf removal, irrigation, EC, nutritional balance, heating strategy and humidity control.
