Sixteen replicated and 15 observational, mid-maturity processing tomato varieties were transplanted May 9 in a commercial field planted to Nun 6404. Cooperators are Steve and Sam Meek and John Pon of J.H. Meek and Sons. Stand establishment was very good. Irrigation was with a first-year, buried drip system. Growth was vigorous. Verticillium wilt and some tomato spotted wilt virus are having an impact.

Directions:

From Highway 113, take the County Road 31 exit heading west on CR 31 for ~ 5 miles to CR 95. Continue 1/2 mile westward. Turn south along dirt road into field. The trial is toward the middle of the field. Signs will be posted near entrance to the field on CR 31.
