Higher Yields & Resistances against Pests and Diseases

Agronomic traits such as higher yields, a stable performance under varying conditions, and resistances against pests and diseases can significantly raise the profits of growers around the world. But they also benefit society at large by helping to secure the food supply of a growing world population. Here are some examples of how Nunhems contributes to protecting and enhancing harvests around the world:

• We were the first in the world to market leek hybrids. Today, a new generation of leek varieties offers increased uniformity, storability, cleanability, density and higher resistance to diseases and pests.
• Farmers in Asia benefit from cabbage varieties yielding reliable quantities even under flood conditions.
• Laxmi, a tomato variety for the Indian market, tolerates high temperatures, offers virus resistance while its greater productivity enables farmers to increase their net income.
• Most recently, we are trialling a new cucumber that, in combination with a tailored growing concept, brings significantly higher yields.
