| MATURITY |
Direct seed maturity for machine harvest in California is early (108 days). |
| VINE TYPE |
The medium sized vine is semi-prostrate and provides better foliar cover when planted in higher plant populations. |
| FRUIT |
The medium sized (66 g) very firm fruit are oval in shape, and have a very small stem scar and a jointless pedicel. |
| DISEASE RESISTANCE |
H9661 carries the genes (Ve, I, I2, Mi, Pto) for resistance to Verticillium race 1, Fusarium races 1 and 2, root-knot nematode, bacterial speck, and has tolerance to Alternaria stem canker. |
| ADAPTATION |
Under arid conditions, H9661 provides excellent yields of very firm fruit with good color when seeded in a double row culture. |
| COMMENTS |
H9661 is a very good setting hybrid which produces high consistency products for an early maturing variety. H9661 is suited for peeling and dicing. |
