Checha is an early maturing long-life variety. However, because it is a long- life variety it may show delayed ripening during cooler conditions. The fruit has a jointed peduncle and has 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 \u2013 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
