Rootstock

In the production of leaf and fruit crops, the increasing risk of potential pests and the increasing frequency of crop rotation, significantly reduce the yield potential of the crop. Therefore, using rootstock helps to resist a number of dangerous diseases such as bacterial wilt, root rot, nematodes and increases the vitality of grafted plants, tolerant to some unfavorable conditions in the field. Rootstock has been and is one of the effective solutions in the development of cauliflower and cucurbits in Asia today.

Developing rootstock varieties that are resistant to bacterial wilt disease in tomato and sweet pepper plants is one of the programs focused on research and development by Rijk Zwaan for a long time. Many qualified rootstock varieties have been put into production, contributing to increased tolerance and markedly improved yield for many growers in Asia and around the world. As a result, those are helping to bring high economic value to growers.
