Resistance Makes The

Resistance Makes The Difference Basil (Ocimum basilicum, Lamiaceae) Resistance Makes The Difference New generation herb varieties To attune our newest herb and rucola varieties to the wishes and demands of the market, the Enza Zaden breeders are always in close contact with our growers and other parties in the chain. This co-operation has lead to a new generation of herb varieties. A generation that covers new ideas and offers unique solutions to our customers. The focus of the breeding activities for this new generation was: • DM resistance in basil. • Fusarium resistance in basil. • DM resistance in parsley. • DM and Fusarium resistance in rucola. On top of that we started more and more to select on easy picking and fast harvesting selections. Now we can proudly present the outcome of this thriving program: • 3 basil varieties: Eleonora, Elidia and Emma. • 1 parsley variety: Peione. • 5 rucola varieties: Prudenzia F1, Jolizia, Bellezia, Anastazia and Letizia.
