Constant innovation results in exceptional active greenhouse varieties

Syngenta continually introduces varieties with new tastes, colors, and added values to complement a vast portfolio of active greenhouse products. New high-quality tomatoes with ToBRFV resistance are being introduced across different segments, including grape tomatoes in various colors and tomato on the vine varieties that provide high yield potential and long shelf life.

Syngenta is a leader in greenhouse peppers, providing growers customized and competitive solutions with a high-performing pepper portfolio featuring new resistance packages that allow growers to maximize their production potential. In addition, by directly understanding consumer preferences, Syngenta helps growers find the ideal variety for their end uses: multi-color pack or bulk options.

Syngenta’s commitment against Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV)

Baby ply variety Emyelle

To help greenhouse growers against ToBRFV, Syngenta recently launched four baby plum varieties – Crystelle, Emyelle, Sicybelle and Adorelle. These varieties have genetic resistance to ToBRFV, offer high yield potential, and maintain the quality and flavor growers and consumers have come to expect. For those interested in the orange grape tomato market, the Baldomero variety stands out, offering both ToBRFV resistance and a rich flavor profile. Additionally, the Climundo variety, a vine tomato, has been developed to resist ToBRFV while also delivering high yield potential and an extended shelf life.

Syngenta researchers are taking the current resistant germplasm and introgressing it into new varieties and new kinds of tomatoes. Research is ongoing to discover new resistance mechanisms to continue to provide active greenhouse growers with options. ″We're introducing comprehensive products that boast resistance to ToBRFV while also maintaining the superior flavor, size, and shelf life that our customers expect,″ said Hans Van Haeff, Product Development Specialist Sr. for Active Greenhouse Crops. ″Our extensive portfolio brings the highest qualities expected by Syngenta, with ToBRFV resistance on top of it all.″
