The variety demonstrates strong resilience against fungal diseases, including fusarium wilt, verticillium wilt, and brown spot. The breeders at agro-Tip have placed particular focus on viral protection, including resistance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) and bacterial spot, significantly reducing the need for intensive chemical applications.
