Emma* is a new indeterminate salad tomato from Sakata’s local breeding programme. Emma* is characterized by a very good fruit set, uniform fruit size and a very good disease package. Emma* has high resistance to Verticillium wilt race 1 (Vd: 1), Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 (Fol: 1 – 2), Tomato mosaic (ToMV) and Leaf mold races 1 – 5 (Ff: 1 – 5) (ex Cf) and intermediate resistance to Tomato curly stunt (ToCSV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl (TYLCV). Emma* has a very good shelf life. The strong vigour of the plants tends to make it less susceptible to common leaf diseases under circumstances normally conducive to disease development.
