Verdon RZ: CGMMV-resistant cucumber variety
In the video, Trevor Voorberg talks about his experiences with this cucumber variety. “Currently, Verdon is our main summer variety,” he says. “Verdon really stands up and it just has more resilience than other varieties that we have tested before. I appreciate the green mottle resistance; it is exactly what you need in the heat of the summer.”
Partnership with Foothill Greenhouses
Rijk Zwaan truly values collaboration. By maintaining an ongoing dialogue with growers, the company can anticipate new challenges in changing cultivation conditions. In the context of Foothill’s partnership with Rijk Zwaan, Trevor comments: “We have been collaborating with Rijk Zwaan for decades. I really appreciate it and notice it in our trialling especially. We look for synergies between varieties and organisations.”
