| Notes | This rootstock is known for producing plants with good generative growth, meaning a better balance of flowers and fruit to leafy growth, resulting in heavier yields of tomatoes. It is also known to promote a longer production cycle, extending the season. Resistant to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. This is a well-proven rootstock variety favored by an increasing number of growers. The Estamino tomato rootstock is known for its vigorous growth and strong root system, which provides excellent support for tomato scions. It is particularly beneficial for tomato varieties that produce heavy fruit loads, as it helps to maintain plant health and productivity under such demanding conditions. The Estamino rootstock is also appreciated for its resistance to a range of common soil-borne diseases, which can be particularly advantageous for growers dealing with challenging soil conditions or aiming to reduce the use of chemical treatments. Tomato scions that would benefit most from the Estamino rootstock include large-fruited varieties and those that are prone to diseases that Estamino is resistant to. By grafting these scions onto Estamino, growers can expect improved yields, better disease resistance, and overall stronger plant performance. The abbreviation "VFFFNT" refers to the disease resistance profile of a particular tomato plant. Each letter represents a specific disease that the tomato variety is resistant to. Here's what each letter stands for: V: Verticillium Wilt (caused by Verticillium albo-atrum and Verticillium dahliae) F: Fusarium Wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici races 1) F: Fusarium Wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici races 2) F: Fusarium Wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici races 3) N: Nematodes (specifically root-knot nematodes caused by Meloidogyne species) T: Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) https://tomatogrowers.com/products/estamino-vfffnt-hybrid |
