Zeal (F1 Hybrid Semi-Determinate Salad Tomato)

OUTSTANDING QUALITIES

• All time favourite
• Reliable and widely adapted
• Excellent colour and flavour

Zeal is a medium-late maturing, very adaptable, semi-determinate salad tomato hybrid. The plants are very robust and sturdy with a bush height in the region of 90 cm. The fruit are globe in shape, uniform in size and weighing around 150 - 180 g. The fruit have a jointed peduncle and are firm. Yield potential of Zeal is high, with the first class grading being very good. The leaf canopy is medium and the general vigour of plants tends to make it less susceptible to diseases under conditions normally conducive to disease. Zeal has high resistance to Verticillium wilt race 1 (Vd: 1), Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 (Fol: 1 - 2), Root-knot (Mi, Mj) and intermediate resistance against Bacterial wilt race 1 (Rs: 1). Zeal is one of the most widely used determinate hybrids in Southern Africa due to its consistent reliability and performance.
