OUTSTANDING QUALITIES
Checha is an early maturing long life variety. However because it is a long life variety it may show delayed ripening during cooler conditions. Fruit have a jointed peduncle and have an attractive presentation in pre-packs when marketed with the calyx still attached. Fruit are globe shaped, very firm, uniform and evenly sized weighing around 150 170 g. Checha has high resistance against Verticillium wilt race 1 (Vd: 1) and Fusarium wilt race 1 (Fol: 1) and intermediate resistance against Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV).
