Growers and industry partners  are warmly welcomed to Hazera’s large demo field. Here you can find the complete range of field vegetables, including those of our sister companies Vilmorin and HM.Clause. The tent also shows the top varieties in various fruit vegetables. On the field, our product managers and cultivation specialists will be happy to update you on our latest developments. It is the place to exchange experiences with professionals from more than 50 countries and to see automatic planting and harvesting demonstrations.

The highlights at a glance:

Onion – High yield, high quality!

Hazera is an important supplier of hard onions for storage. In the field you will find the new top varieties 37-136, Nico, Storo, Rondo & Prospero, the long day segment with an very strong bulb,  storage quality and a high yield potential.

Successful leek portfolio

Our yield increaser Vigora is central to our leek field: a flexible variety, well adapted to stressful conditions. Suitable for the fresh market and very strong performance for processing. Also special attention for Signora: a leek variety with a very strong disease resistance package. In addition to these 2 new commercial varieties, we also show you our newest varieties in development.

Brassicas – Reliable quality in a changing environment

Our environment and consumer preferences are constantly changing and Hazera breeding offers solutions for these diverse market needs with our new and established varieties! Take a look at white cabbage 17-1856: a promising versatile cabbage for summer and early autumn production. Suitable for short storage and strong against thrips. We also present you 14-712. A new and excellent Savoy cabbage. The combination of FoC and Xcc resistance makes this variety unique. With very dark green blister heads. Pointed cabbage Earl is also a cabbage that deserves attention: a very uniform, high-yielding summer variety. The new cauliflower varieties 10-1283 for the fresh market and Icerok for the industry are also in the field; a rock-hard cauliflower for the production of florets.

Four new varieties can be seen in the broccoli. This makes it possible to significantly improve the harvest percentages. The very early variety First Lap is strong against cat’s eyes and is widely available. HMC35536 is for the summer and early autumn and is also in the ring trials this year. In addition, growers can get to know Hyb9376 and a new calebrini variety (Hyb0857) for stem broccoli.

But also newcomer 34-569: a red new round hybrid for indoor cultivation. With a firm, pure white interior for both bunch and pre-packaging, Radish Pepito and Resito will be two of our recommended radishes.

Tomatoes that work for you

Hazera also presents the ToBRFV-resistant tomato varieties in the tent. Such as the snack tomatoes Pendragon and Windsor: both with a long shelf life, a crunchy bite and a high yield potential. Both varieties are suitable for high-tech growing conditions or mid-tech greenhouses.

Watermelons – top quality

Meet our mini seedless watermelon Exotica. This variety was presented as part of the assortment during the Fruit Logistica Innovation 2024: Exotica is a handy size seedless mini watermelon, with a long shelf life, traditional taste and a great color & crunchiness.

Cucumber

Hazera has a long tradition in cucumber breeding. As one of the first companies in the world to develop short cucumbers, we are busy innovating, improving and gradually expanding to more cucumber varieties, such as the long Dutch cucumbers & baby cucumbers. During these open days we put our baby cucumbers in the spotlight.

And not to forget; our (lamb’s) lettuce, (curly)endive, fennel, celery & carrots…

There is plenty of attention for the leafy vegetables with an extensive range of iceberg lettuce, butterhead lettuce and romaine lettuce and (curly) endive. There is also an extensive range of lamb’s lettuce (in which the different leaf shapes can be compared with the main variety Audace). In the carrots, the focus is on Northern Europe. Here are the varieties for the deep-freeze industry, the large carrots for cutting, the baby carrots and the storage carrots (Nantes and Berlicum). There are also new zucchini varieties  to be seen in the field.

In short, plenty to see and experience. “Connect your senses” on our demo field. We are happy to welcome you and to show you around and tell you about our wide range of varieties.
