HiRevolution Innovation is driven by dynamic markets and striving for economic sustainability. Within the cucumber market this has been translated into a state-of-the-art high wire growing method.
HiRevolution varieties are perfectly matching challenges by having the groundbreaking ‘COMPACT’ gene:
• Up to 50% smaller and horizontally positioned leaves• Higher photosynthesis activity• Short internodes
This is resulting in better manageability of the crop during the entire growing period with higher productivity, easier harvesting, decreased and more balanced labor costs (per kg/m2) and a high, uniform fruit quality.
A break-through in cucumber cultivation
CropGuardeViruses and diseases, regardless their type and the region they are occuring, are resulting in less plant vigor, smaller and lower quality fruits and crop failure.
CropGuarde varieties provide intermediate to high resistances against specific viruses and plant diseases. They are vigorous and generative plants that have:
• less fruit abortion• better balance• more regular yield • better endurance.
They continue producing laterals and fruits simultaneously under varying circumstances and become less sensitive to diseases.
