Choosing the ONE Tomato & Culling the Rest

1 year ago

In the 2nd generation of tomato breeding lines, you'll get the most diversity so it's best to plant a lot of plants out. In this video, I've planted 30 plants of a variety I'm calling Superbear. All I need is one plant from these 30 to carry forward, but it's got to be a good example or none will make it. What I'm looking for is good sized fruit, symmetrical, parthenocarpic, and disease resistance. It's a tall order, but that's what breeding is about.
