Bacterial wilt resistant rootstock
Since finding the triple fusarium resistant rootstock two years ago I have had so much more success with my tomatoes. It is so nice to have most live for the whole season instead of yellowing up and wilting anywhere from one month to 3 months after setting them out. I give a lot of my plants away when I have surplus grafts and the only complaint anyone including me has had is concerning bacterial wilt. Despite their strong resistance to fusarium and nematodes they are still susceptible to bacterial wilt.
Does anyone know of a rootstock that is resistant to RKN, all three races of fusarium and also bacterial wilt and where they can be purchased? Even though I don't usually lose more than a couple of plants per season to bacterial wilt I would like to see if it is possible to close this one weakness in my grafts. One of the gardeners I share plants with has a real problem with bacterial wilt in his garden so it would be a good test of any rootstock claiming resistance. Bill |
