Default Advice re: TSVW Resistant Tomatoes

Last spring I aggressively attacked the TSWV problems in my garden with a very aggressive approach listed in my precious posts last spring. Illness kept me from posting results and photos. To make a long story short, all of my TSWV resistant tomatoes (Bolseno, Super Cromo F1, BHN444,) survived and bore well into November until our first heavy frost here in the northern piedmont area of NC (Zone 7). The non-resistant ones didn't make it to September being wiped out by TSWV.

This year I'm still going to still be aggressive, but am only going to plant TSWV resistant tomato varieties which will include Mountain Glory and BHN444 which are both determinant ones, plus Super Cromo F1 and Bolseno which are both indeterminate. I am considering Talladega and Capaya (both determinate) and Sophya (indeterminate).

Any suggestions for and experiences with other TSWV varieties, especially indeterminate ones would be appreciated. I am limited to around 30 plants and plan to begin ordering seeds this week.
Thanks,
tlcmd (aka Dick)

Default TSWV

I've never had the problem, but I know it's becoming more common. The variety 'Amelia' comes to mind from the gardenweb. Anyway this seed company has a click just for this.

Thanks for the reply and link. According to many of the southeastern state extension divisions, TSWV has overtaken TMV as the leading infection in tomatoes around here.
