Syngenta's commitment against Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV)
To help greenhouse growers against ToBRFV, Syngenta recently launched four baby plum varieties – Crystelle, Emyelle, Sicybelle, and Adorelle. These varieties have genetic resistance to ToBRFV, offer high yield potential, and maintain the quality and flavor growers and consumers have come to expect. The Baldomero variety stands out for those interested in the orange grape tomato market, offering both ToBRFV resistance and a rich flavor profile. Additionally, the Climundo variety, a vine tomato, has been developed to resist ToBRFV while also delivering high-yield potential and extended shelf life.
Syngenta researchers are taking the current resistant germplasm and introgressing it into new varieties and new kinds of tomatoes. Research is ongoing to discover new resistance mechanisms to continue to provide active greenhouse growers with options. "We're introducing comprehensive products that boast resistance to ToBRFV while also maintaining the superior flavor, size, and shelf life that our customers expect," said Hans Van Haeff, Product Development Specialist Sr. for Active Greenhouse Crops. "Our extensive portfolio brings the highest qualities expected by Syngenta, with ToBRFV resistance on top of it all."
