Resistance makes the difference

At Enza Zaden, we understand the critical role that resistance plays in growing high-quality crops. Our event showcases the power of breeding for resistance through our Bremia Experience. This is your chance to experience a part of the process of our dedication to developing resilient and productive varieties.

Bremia Experience

Battle against Bremia lactucae

Bremia lactucae (downy mildew) occurs worldwide and is a major problem for both the yield and the quality of cultivated lettuce. This downy mildew is genetically very variable and is notorious for its ability to develop physios and bypass incrossed resistances in existing varieties. Finding a suitable resistance to Bremia lactucae is a necessity and an ongoing process. Every time a new physio emerges a new genetic answer must be found and crossed into new varieties. Of course, by maintaining all the other positive characteristics a grower expects from varieties.

Bremia lactucae during the Discovery Field Days

Innovation is the basis and strength of our company. We invest over 30% of our turnover in research, knowledge development and cooperation with other parties. The result is a constant stream of innovations. Enza Zaden is strongly committed to breed resistant varieties that add value to the entire chain, from growers to consumers. We offer a wide range of good varieties with excellent field performance, outstanding post-harvest and Bremia resistance.

However, developing a resistant variety is a complex process in which researchers and breeders work closely together. How this process works you can experience yourself during the Discovery Field Days. See for yourself how a breeder operates at our Bremia Experience in the field.
