Dr. Warren Henderson and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service has recently released two new processing tomato varieties. The varieties "Wolfpack 1" and "Wolfpack 2" are the results of eight years of effort to improve the yield and quality of processing tomatoes for North Carolina. Seed of the two varieties will be available from commercial sources in 1985. The varieties are described in detail below. "Wolfpack 1," formerly tested as " N. C. 2, is an Fll selection derived from a cross between "Fla 180" and "Dorchester". "Wolfpack 1" has been tested in replicated trials for four years. It is inten ded for whole pack use and for a once-over machine harvest (or hand harvest). "Wolfpack has a concentrated set of attractive red, firm, blocky fruits. Fruits have an above average soluble solids content (4-year average 5.8%) and a small core, and they produce an attrac tive canned product. Fruits have a uniform (u gene) color. Pedicels are jointed and maturity is mid season. Plants are vigorous and determinate with an excellent foliage cover. "Wolfpace 1" is resistant to Fusarium wilt, race L (Fusarium oxysporum F. lycopersici). Fruits are resistant to cracking (radial and concentric), puf finess, sunburn, and blossom end rot. "Wolfpact 1" outyielded the three check cultivars - "Dorchester", "C-37" and "Chico III" - with a four-year average of 28.4 tons/acre, once-over har vest. It is also a consistent high yielder, ranking first and second at seven of eight locations. Fruit size averaged .16 lbs, similar in size to "Chico III". "Wolfpack 2,", formerly tested as " N. C. 4," is an Fll selection derived from a cross between "Fla 180" and "Dorchester". "Wolfpack 2" has been tested in replicated trials for four years. It is inten ded for whole pack use and for a once-over machine harvest (or hand harvest). "Wolfpack 2" has a concentrated set of attractive red, firm, blocky fruits. It has outstanding canning qualities—a deep red color (a/b = 2.7) and a high soluble solides content. It is similar in many re spects to "Wolfpack 1," but is approximately seven days later and has a small fruit size (.14) and a more viney plant habit. It is resistant to cracking, puffiness, sunburn, blossom end rot, and Fusarium wilt, race 1. "Wolfpack 2" produces a good yield of quality fruits—averaging 26.8 tons/acre and 6.0% soluble solids during four years of testing. Thus, if a bonus for high soluble solids content becomes a standard practice, the grower as well as the consumer of "Wolfpack 2" would benefit. We will keep you informed of commercial availability of the seed. Lake Gaston Club Busy By JANICE HARRISON The Lake Gaston 4 H'ers were really on the move during October.
