Discovery Field Days Organic

Wissel naar Nederlandstalig

We look forward to welcoming you to our location in Voorst from 22 to 24 September 2026.

At our demonstration field, we will showcase a wide range of open-field vegetable crops, while our specialists share their expertise on varieties, market developments, and organic cultivation. This year, special attention will be given to the continued development of our pumpkin and lettuce portfolios. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover new genetics, practical solutions, and breeding innovations that contribute to a sustainable and future-proof organic vegetable industry. Registration

At the demonstration field, we will showcase the new Hokkaido pumpkin varieties Spring Light F1 (E30R.00207) and Leo Light F1 (E30R.00148). These varieties combine key characteristics such as disease resistances, excellent storage performance, and suitability for mechanical harvesting.

Important developments are also taking place within our lettuce portfolio. During the Discovery Field Days Organic, we will present new lettuce varieties with resistance to Nasonovia biotype Nr:1. These varieties combine the full Bremia resistance package with resistance to both Nasonovia biotype 0 and biotype 1.

Visitors will be able to explore several new iceberg lettuce varieties, including Lenovia, a promising new variety for the summer growing season. In addition, we will showcase new Romaine lettuce breeding material featuring Nr:1 resistance.

With these innovations, we continue to support organic growers in addressing the increasing challenges posed by diseases and pests.

Our team looks forward to welcoming you to the Discovery Field Days Organic in Voorst.
