Promising hybrid tomato

This fruitful tomato is TM 787, a promising hybrid developed by plant breeders of East-West Seed Company. It is taller than other commercially grown hybrids which offers certain advantages, among them a longer productive life. That’s important for farmers, especially when the price of tomatoes is high. This tomato also has higher tolerance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl (TYLC) disease than varieties that are now grown by farmers. This hybrid produces firm fruits that weigh 40 to 60 grams each. Showing TM 787 with ripening fruits are Jill Bulawan (left) and Karina van Leeuven, a Dutch senior plant breeder of East-West Seed. They say that farmers in Nueva Vizcaya who have tried planting the new hybrid are excited about it because of its excellent performance.
