Pomodorino di Manduria is an ecotype of tomato typical of Manduria, Apulia.

Characteristics

These tomatoes are cultivated in little plots of land (1/2–2 hectares). They are sown in March and harvested from the second half of June to the first days of September.[1]

From some researches, it has been discovered that this ecotype is very resistant to the tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) and with a graft that this tolerance is also transmitted to other varieties.[2][3]
