  • Publication number: 20230337620
    Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2124’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to humid climactic conditions of regions such as the Northeastern United States and Italy. It is a main season variety with resistance to verticillium race 1, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, root knot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus and moderate resistance to bacterial spot, bacterial canker and early blight. The superior vine health and extended field storage make it particularly valuable variety for production regions with high levels of rain that can promote bacterial and fungal diseases and delay field harvest.
