Trialing occurs at these sites and other key markets throughout the year, allowing Syngenta to continually introduce innovative new varieties. Seed resellers and vegetable growers who visited the sites in 2017 had a chance to get a glimpse of what the future holds, such as enhanced disease resistance packages, varieties with earlier maturity and improved fruit quality.“Our goal is to continue introducing vegetable seed offerings that address production challenges, while setting a new standard for consumer appeal.”
