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