Vitalis and Enza Zaden, an organic duo

When organic food was still in its infancy in the 1990s, Vitalis Organic Seeds already had a clear mission: to create an organic world together. In 1998, we merged their dream and our breeding, and a golden, organic duo was born.

Pumpkin Boost

Together, we have created a wide range of resilient varieties for the organic market. Take Orange Summer, a red pumpkin variety that has conquered both organic and conventional cultivation. With its natural resistance to disease and stress and ability to achieve good, predictable yields under low inputs, it is a welcome guest in the fields. Thanks to the widespread availability of organic seeds, the sustainable cultivation of red pumpkins has flourished worldwide, paving the way for a greener future.

On a mission together

Vitalis leads the introduction of varieties with virus-resistance packages, ensuring robustness across diverse growing conditions. Their latest innovation, Flexi Kuri, isn't just a launch—it's a revolution in harvesting methods. Its ingenious design paves the way for mechanical harvesting, seamlessly adapting to the ever-evolving needs of growers. Furthermore, this pumpkin variety showcases resistance to ZYMV, an unfortunate trend growing increasingly prevalent.

Several organic lettuce varieties are highly resistant to downy mildew, and organic tomatoes are highly resistant to ToBRFV. By breeding valuable resistances in Vitalis' organic varieties, we can do our bit to contribute to that beautiful mission of creating an organic world.
