Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) is a<br />
collective term for indoor growing that leverages<br />
technology, engineering and plant science to optimize<br />
growing systems, plant quality and production<br />
efficiency.<br />
As early leaders in this area, Enza Zaden has a dedicated<br />
CEA team on the ground, with an established greenhouse<br />
vegetable portfolio, and a highly collaborative breeding<br />
approach that involves extensive trialing under the precise<br />
conditions of each grower’s system. Working together<br />
with growers is how we’re helping to move the compelling<br />
frontier of CEA forward.<br />

Resistances<br />
Resistances in varieties of our crops will be coded (see for<br />
explanation our coding list at www.enzazaden.com.), unless<br />
indicated otherwise. In case a variety is resistant to more than one<br />
pathogen, the individual resistance codes will be separated by the<br />
symbol “/”.<br />
High resistance (HR) - plant varieties that highly restrict the growth<br />
and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal<br />
pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties.<br />
These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or<br />
damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.<br />
• If in a resistance code of a certain variety reference is made to<br />
certain strains for which the resistance is claimed this means that no<br />
resistance is claimed to other strains of the same pathogen.<br />
• If in a resistance code no reference is made to strains of the<br />
pathogen for which the resistance is claimed this means that<br />
resistance is claimed only to certain not further specified strains of<br />
the pathogen and herewith disclaiming any guarantee that the variety<br />
will not be infected by the said pathogen.<br />
Intermediate resistance (IR) - plant varieties that restrict the growth<br />
and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit<br />
a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to highly resistant<br />
plant varieties. Intermediate resistant plant varieties will still show<br />
less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties<br />
when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or<br />
pathogen pressure.<br />
Tolerance (T) - the ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress<br />
without serious consequences for growth, appearance and yield.<br />
