Welcome to Syngenta Vegetable Seeds

Syngenta’s broadening ToBRFV-resistant portfolio includes new HR varieties and new intermediate varieties (IR). These portfolio enhancements stretch a broad range of tomato types and serve both high- and mid-tech greenhouses.

Capitalizing on spinach’s popularity demands that growers and the food chain navigate one of the most destructive challenges in leafy greens: downy mildew.

Broccoli growers face a complex mix of challenges, ranging to unpredictable weather, drought, disease, and labor constraints. That’s why innovations in broccoli from Syngenta Vegetable Seeds help farmers meet these challenges with stronger and more adaptable varieties. Farmers can deliver the nutritious product consumers are looking for while protecting their crop and maximizing yield potential.

Fields of Innovation 2026 connects 900 global agricultural professionals with vegetable genetics, biologicals, and future industry talent to explore this year's core themes: ‘Grow beyond the ordinary’, ‘Maximise every Acre’, and ‘Shield your Yield’.

Today, INSV is a major challenge in the United States, particularly in the “salad bowl” region of coastal California during summer growing seasons.

One major concern is the Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), which is causing significant losses in Europe and North Africa. This aggressive virus, spread by whiteflies, affects the plant development, blocking its growth, deforming the fruit and reducing the yield.

Diseases are one challenge that spinach growers must overcome in all segment types. Downy mildew, for example, can spread rapidly and even cause rot in spinach packed in bags and cartons. Stemphylium, a fungal disease, is appearing more frequently in fields, threatening yield and quality.

From meeting consumer preferences like color and brix to maintaining yield and disease resistance, Syngenta ensures there is a variety for every grower’s needs.

Twenty years after Syngenta Vegetable Seeds launched its first clubroot-resistant brassicas, and now the second-generation resistance is in testing.

Built around the needs of growers and the markets they serve, Roundo and Olympo combine agronomic performance with the quality characteristics required at harvest and packout.

Breeding is advancing rapidly and producing more innovations than ever before, from weather-resistant and disease-resistant varieties to easier-to-process harvests and vivid colors that tempt the palate.

Many growers are finding they can get back to using their land more quickly by switching to grafting. By using a watermelon rootstock with the leading package of disease resistance, they are turning a survival tactic into a competitive advantage.
