• Fast growth, high yield and reach harvest size sooner and before oysters are succumbed to the diseases that are the bane of the industry
• Disease resistance inherited from diploid disease-resistant strains and further improved by strong selection in tetraploid lines.
• Strong “summer products” vs. diploid (i.e., year-round production)
• Bigger, fatter, with good consumer aesthetics (nicer looking products)
• Thick and strong shells, resistant to handling
• Reproductive inactivity or absence of excessive gonads
• Non-GMO and ‘natural’ triploids (not induced by toxic chemicals)
• Uses on both US coasts, as well as foreign waters

• Unique holiday light bulb shape that is perfect for dipping
• Flavorful, sweet fruit
• Produces abundant runners in the field, making it ideal for gardeners wanting to expand their strawberry garden

• Tasty bicolor grape tomato
• Firm, crack-resistant red/yellow fruit
• Intense sweet flavor balanced by moderate acidity
• Indeterminate plants that are high yielding, with mid-late season fruit maturity
• Open-pollinated, 70 days to maturity

The central theme for turfgrass research at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station encompasses germplasm enhancement and turfgrass management. Current studies include:

• Breeding turfgrasses with enhanced pest and stress tolerance
• Microbiomes and turfgrass health
• Host-endophyte interactions associated with diseases, insects, and weeds
• Biocontrol of major turfgrass insect pests
• Herbicide resistance in turfgrasses
• Reducing chemical inputs through improved cultural management
• Impact of host tolerance on fungicide management turfgrass diseases
• Mechanisms of heat and drought tolerance in cool-season grasses
• Plant health products for improved stress tolerance
• Turf responses to traffic, topdressing and other management factors

• Most distinguishing characteristic is exceptional fruit flavor
• Exhibits good production
• Can be grown in both plasticulture and matted row production or on a smaller scale by home gardeners

• Selectively bred for MSX resistance since 1960, for Dermo resistance since 1990 and for growth and shell attributes since 1998.
• Haskin NEH® is derived from Long Island Sound and perform well in most high salinity (20 – 34 ppt) sites in the Northeastern region. 
• Haskin DBX is derived from Delaware Bay and perform well in medium or low salinity (18 – 23 ppt) sites.
• Both strains have strong resistance to MSX, moderate to strong resistance to Dermo, and improved survival in the field.
• Adapted to hatchery production and grow significantly faster than wild Delaware oysters in the field.

Rutgers 250 is the result from crossing the same parent varieties as the original ‘Rutgers’ tomato that was released by Rutgers NJAES in 1934. ‘Rutgers 250’ was selected for high fruit quality and flavor and was named in honor of the University’s 250th anniversary in 2016.

Ramapo was developed at Rutgers NJAES and released in 1968. It was prized by gardeners for its great flavor, fruit quality, reliability, and productivity. While Ramapo seed was unavailable for many years, Rutgers NJAES continued receiving requests for this popular tomato and eventually reintroduced Ramapo F-1 seeds in 2008.

Moreton was Harris Seeds’ first F-1 hybrid, released in 1953 and one of the first hybrids grown by Jersey tomato growers. This early maturing, tasty variety was off the market and re-introduced in a cooperative effort by Harris Seeds and Rutgers NJAES. Moreton makes a good earlier maturing garden companion to Ramapo and KC-146. Good for regions with short growing seasons and suitable for growing in containers.

KC-146 (also known as Campbell’s 146) was developed by Campbell’s Soup Company as a processing tomato and released in 1956. This variety was wilt and crack-resistant and better flavored than other processing types. It was eventually replaced with newer varieties with a more disease resistance. Campbell’s maintained the KC-146 stock as their flavor standard. We agree, this is one tasty tomato! Suitable for growing in containers.
