I got hit pretty hard by TSWV starting in late Aug-early Sep. I will only be sharing seeds saved earlier than July 2016.

Next year's plan is multi-pronged. Integrated Pest Management, silver reflective mulch, cultural practices, aggressive culling, etc. The other measure is grafting onto TSWV "resistant" rootstock

Candidates include: Bella Rosa, BHN-444/640, Mountain Glory, Talledega, and Quincy.

Would some resistance be conferred?
I have some seeds of coated Talledega. I had planned on growing them this year to see what they were like. I didn't realize that they had resistant properties. I couldn't find too much infor on them.
