At Enza Zaden, we are committed to innovation and developing resistant portfolios that significantly reduce the risk of crop loss for growers. Our resistant portfolios not only ensure high-quality products with longer shelf-life but also benefit producers and chain players alike: choosing resistant varieties, helps you guaranteeing yield, quality, and supply. Additionally, resistant varieties require fewer pesticides, resulting in cleaner crops and healthier products.
We introduce our breakthrough in iceberg lettuce cultivation: new iceberg varieties with a complete protection package—full Bremia resistance, Nr:0, and Intermediate Resistance (IR) to Nasonovia Nr:1 (IR). The Nr:1 biotype of Nasonovia aphids has become a major threat to lettuce growers in Europe. With chemical controls losing effectiveness and resistance on the rise, growers have fewer options. That’s why resistance makes the difference.
We have developed tomato varieties with High Resistance against Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) – Strong and uncompromised in quality. Together with the growers cultivating the first High Resistance varieties, we create a brighter future for all.
We offer a wide range of high-quality varieties with excellent field performance, outstanding post-harvest characteristics, and resistance to Bremia. Many varieties are also available in 100% organic seeds. Combining traditional preventive treatments with our high-resistance varieties ensures high protection against Bremia, leading to successful lettuce production. Don't let downy mildew hinder your leafy crop production.
With HREZ rootstock, you can ensure a healthier, more productive future for your tomato crops. HREZ rootstock (High resistance to ToBRFV) prevents the virus from spreading from the roots to the plant and decreases the overall virus pressure. This extra layer of defense, combined with HREZ varieties and effective phytosanitary measures, leads to fortified tomato plants.
At Enza Zaden, we recognize the significant threat that Fusarium wilt poses to lettuce growers worldwide. Caused by the Fusarium pathogen, this soil-borne disease attacks the plant’s roots, leading to severe economic losses in both open-field and covered cultivation. Fusarium wilt can cause 30-70% yield loss—or up to 100% in extreme cases—posing a significant threat to growers by making affected lettuce unmarketable.
