Juma* has been developed for the production of high quality fruit in plastic greenhouses and shaded production. The medium-large sized fruit has a smooth surface and shallow shoulders and is bright red when ripe. Plants have a taller growth habit and are suitable for production in areas where Tomato spotted wilt is a problem. Results indicate very good Powdery mildew resistance. Juma* has high resistance to Tobamo viruses (Tm 0,3) and intermediate resistance to Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV), Leveillula taurica (Lt) and Potato Y (PVY).
Special Varietal Requirements
- By transplanting young seedlings (2 true leaves) and removing flowers of the first 3 to 4 nodes, plants are able to develop strong root systems and good canopies allowing for long season production.
