Over 100 improved varieties of celery, kale, leek, coriander, wild rocket, salad onions and parsnip will be presented
Seed specialist Tozer will showcase over 100 of its innovative vegetable seed varieties at its trial field in Zwaagdijk-Oost, Netherlands, from 24-26 September as part of the Seed Meets Technology week.
Celery and brassicas will feature prominently at the trials. Amongst Tozer’s wide catalogue of celery varieties, the mid-season hybrid Cleopatra is a market leader. “Specially, good for pre-packing with great colour and standing, Cleopatra performs particularly well in an unpredictable early season,” Tozer said.
In Brassicas, visitors will be able to discover up to 20 varieties of kale including new breeding lines of green kale and improved hybrids of Cavolo Nero, a contemporary range that puts a premium on product versatility and flavour.
Innovative varieties of coriander such as Bolero, Rumba and Flamenco, parsnip like Sabre, faster growing Kalettes, a hybrid cross between kale and Brussels sprouts, and new lines in leek, salad onions and rocket complete the list of Tozer’s novelties at the event.
“We’re really satisfied with the quality and range of the innovations our visitors will be able to see next week at the field. We’re expecting clients and delegations from many different countries, and I can’t wait to welcome them all”, said Marcel Bloemendaal, Tozer’s sales director for Northern Europe.
On 24 and 25 September, Tozer will also organise a Happy Hour from 4pm, at which visitors will be able to taste the company’s celery gin.
