Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2239’
Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2239’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to humid climactic regions such as the Northeastern USA, Portugal and Italy. It is a main season variety with resistance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, root knot nematode, bacterial speck and moderate tolerance to bacterial spot, bacterial canker and early blight. The variety is characterized by a compact uniform vine with exceptional vine health.
