In a recent study by Syngenta Vegetable Seeds, researchers examined the impact of ToBRFV-resistant rootstock on root weight in tomatoes. The study shows that resistant rootstock in a grafting program helps protect root mass.

“We’re grabbing everything that helps limit the virus!” “Fast generative start thanks to new rootstock.” “Generative balance quickly established with new rootstock.”

For tomato growers around the world, grafting programs give them the opportunity to combine the best root protection with the best above-ground plants. With so many threats against tomatoes, having protection from roots to fruit can help protect yield potential and quality.

Syngenta is strategically advancing its vegetable breeding programs for Northwest Europe.

Companies are increasingly offering tomatoes with ToBRFV-resistance. With yield on the line, how do growers find the right partner? Syngenta is committed to the fight against ToBRFV with solutions available today, more solutions to be released, and ongoing research.

This year's Syngenta Open Days centred on the theme: "Yield without Pause: Let our Strong Portfolios do the Heavy Lifting."

Syngenta Vegetable Seeds invites you to Fields of Innovation 2025, where groundbreaking disease-resistant varieties, sustainable practices, and a revolutionary biostimulant will showcase the future of global vegetable production.

To help growers protect their yield potential, Syngenta Vegetable Seeds introduced Zefiros with resistance to four key diseases, among many other agronomic benefits, to provide growers an option with high yield potential. Planting disease-resistant squash varieties is the most economic and effective way to control squash diseases.

In a recent testimonial, Mantas Rudokas, a senior manager at JEPCO, highlighted the impressive qualities of 'Verdagio', a new lettuce variety that has caught the attention of industry professionals.

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.

Syngenta’s new pointed savoy cabbage features not only eating benefits, but also defensive traits, easier harvest, and adaptability.

Spinach diseases not only cause imperfections, they also damage a plant’s ability to photosynthesize, which hurts yield potential and decreases the overall product quality. That’s why researchers at Syngenta Vegetable Seeds are constantly on top of new races of diseases.
