Evaluation of tomato germplasm for resistance to geminiviruses in Sanarate, GT: March 04

Commercial types preferred by the Guatemalans: Roma or Saladette shape, 120 g and firm (allows transport and longer storage).  Three or four cultivars are the most popular:  Silverado, Elios, Marina, and Tara are important.  Sheriff is grown for the Salvador market and has excellent color and is firm.
