Sakata highlights summer squash program

Sakata Seed America's long-standing goal, along with introducing seed genetics to the market, is to also provide the best service and support to complement those genetics. To meet this goal, informative resources are developed for each crop, and are backed by the respective crop’s Product Development Manager and team, who are available to answer any and all questions.

Sakata’s summer squash program is no exception to this goal. They offer 11 varieties of summer squash including Zucchini, Caserta and Lebanese types, which were bred for desirable traits like high yield, excellent shelf life and disease resistance. Varieties such as Endeavor and Symphony demonstrate the excellent vigor and quality of the Sakata summer squash program, both with disease packages that ensure success.

Sakata believes it’s their duty to spread awareness of the benefits and trends associated with their varieties, so growers can make the best choices for their planting schedules, retailers may utilize the information in their promotions and consumers can enjoy the best products possible. In the case of summer squash, the newest piece of marketing support is the Skinny on Summer Squash article, which explores topics such as sales trends and nutritional benefits of summer squash. Growers may also utilize the Sakata summer squash expert, Tracy Lee; Tracy’s passion and knowledge base provides an extremely useful tool for the grower.
