🍅🌱 For Georgia’s $99 million tomato industry, it takes teamwork to make this particular dream work.

Our tomato production specialists recently worked with UGA Extension agents to identify four promising tomato cultivars that produced strong yields despite persistent disease challenges in south Georgia.

After evaluating seven commercial slicer-type tomato cultivars over two fall seasons of natural disease pressure, the research team identified the ‘Camaro,’ ‘Grand Marshall,’ ‘Jolene’ and ‘STM 2255’ as the highest-yielding.
