Last summertime , Varinova and Syngenta Flowers agreed on a joint Cyclamen purpurascens future . A recipe for a spectacular flowering tryout , which the breeders traditionally organize around this time of the year . The entire assortment can now be admire at two locating , both in Andijk and Bleiswijk . Marleen van Balkom and Carolien Klein in the glasshouse in Bleiswijk
Both breeding programs are presently being desegregate . Around 450 variety have been included in the entire trial . Of these , around 350 come from in - home breeding , the remaining diversity occur from other stock breeder ( Schoneveld Breeding and Morel ) . " Of course we do our very respectable to make all varieties , include those of the competition , calculate their honest " , express mirth Bart Kuijer , former owner of Varinova . " You want the client , bargainer and grower to get the best and as complete as potential exposure of what the integral market has to offer . “The introduction in Andijk , where also poinsettia were express
The whole estimate of direct the flush test is therefore mainly to get feedback from trader and growers . For that , you also call for the diversity from other actor in the grocery . “ Of naturally there is overlap , and some varieties supplement each other . Everyone has their military strength and weaknesses , and you may best discover that by invest everything together . Ultimately , only the good hybridizing can go forward , " says Carolien Klein …. and Bleiswijk again …
Breeding is the art of cast away , and if you have to select from literally C of varieties , all of which have actually been stamped ‘ good ’ , you interpret how difficult that is . " In curt , good diverseness will also be rejected , so that we only retain the good , " as selling manager Marleen van Balkom adds . “ We now have that lavishness position , since we have been capable to immix both categorization . And of course we ca n’t put 350 variety in the catalog . "
It is still quite a puzzle to bring together both computer programme together right . Does one existing serial affix the other , will there be entirely fresh ones , where are the main area for improvement and what should be preserved at all costs ? " One affair is certain , by combine the unattackable points of both parties , we are hold out to take the assortment to a newfangled level . " … and again in Andijk .
lastly , the flower trials have one last extra dimension . The exercise of inhibitors is an issue in finish . Their use is being pushed back further and further , and more and more resources are gradually being set off . That is why it is now important to already front carefully at how it can be done without it and which piece of the potting soil is optimal . Syngenta , which has its own Crop Protection department , naturally has started to work on this .
The test at both Andijk and Bleiswijk can still be admired in the coming three weeks . They will also be unresolved during the trade fair at the beginning of November , and professionals will be present to show visitant around . For more information : Syngenta Flowerswww.syngentaflowers.eu
