Grower feedback is key to success, and with so many partnerships,<br />
Enza Zaden has great opportunities to get new insights. We use that<br />
information as we continue to develop varieties that reflect the tastes<br />
consumers are looking for, and that enable growers to build and<br />
maintain a competitive edge.<br />
The Enza Zaden innovation pipeline is very exciting. With over 150<br />
varieties, we’re uniquely positioned to help growers leverage the rapid<br />
growth of the vegetable food sector. A few innovative examples include:<br />
• Select new varieties to our assortment from our Florida breeding<br />
program with excellent adaptability to the Southeast region including<br />
bell pepper Mingun (E20B.30108) and open field semi-determinate<br />
tomato Skyway 687.<br />
• Kazta, Divergent and Silarius (E25T.5198) round out the trio of new<br />
melon varieties that are together establishing the company’s position<br />
as a flavor and overall innovation partner in commercial melons.<br />

• Resistances that focus on Downy Mildew and Fusarium are essential<br />
to further increase efficiency and yield stability in the production<br />
of herbs and arugula. The quality mark ‘Resistance Makes The<br />
Difference’ has been developed with the objective to bring superior<br />
produce to the entire chain.<br />
