Danson Seed Company, Inc. announces the second limited release in a series of new determinate saladette tomatoes.

Saladette 1081, now named Halcon, is among the earliest maturing saladettes in the Los Mochis and Culiacan production areas of Mexico.  It is about 10-14 days earlier than Maya the current standard.  Halcon has a very concentrated set of fruit that are quite uniform for size, shape, and maturity.  The plant is very compact and should be planted quite close together in either ground our stake culture.  This allows for higher plant population and a high volume of production in November and December in Sinaloa. 

Halcon was developed for its tolerance to TYLCV which is transmitted by white fly.  It has shown consistent performance under heavy white fly pressure in California, Baja California, Sinaloa, and Maharastra.

 Halcon is tolerant to: VFFTMVNTYLCVASCSTBsp
