Hello everybody and welcome to our assortment overview for the
2020-21 Season!
Despite the challenges faced we have still been busy making sure
we can offer you the right solution for your situation and market by
running selection trials in all the major high tech areas worldwide. The
results of this are seen with some of the new introductions we have for
this year.
For those of you that prefer the bigger tomatoes we still have great
options there and Santiana RZ, on Page 22, is becoming a very popular
choice amongst Large TOV growers around the world thanks to its
large average fruit weight and high yield potential.
If taste is your thing do not miss out on Kawaguchi, our tasty pink beef
tomato that performs very well in the greenhouse and is very strong
against blossom end rot. Eating is believing with this one so check out
page 25 to see what all the interest is about.
Those are just some of the highlights so we hope you enjoy browsing
the catalogue and if you have interest in or questions about any of the
varieties in this booklet then do not hesitate to get in touch with your
local Rijk Zwaan contact whose details you can find below.
We hope that both you and your crops stay happy and healthy and
look forward to hearing from you very soon.
