Checha F1 Hybrid Determinate Salad Tomato
OUTSTANDING QUALITIES
- GOOD FLAVOUR

- TSWV RESISTANCE
- VERY LONG SHELF LIFE
Checha is an early maturing long life variety. However because it is a long life variety it may show delayed ripening during cooler conditions. Fruit have a jointed peduncle and have an attractive presentation in pre-packs when marketed with the calyx still attached. Fruit are globe shaped, very firm, uniform and evenly sized weighing around 150 – 170 g. Checha has high resistance against Verticillium wilt race 1 (Vd: 1) and Fusarium wilt race 1 (Fol: 1) and intermediate resistance against Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV).
