In recent years, basil crops have been heavily attacked by mildew. This fungus deforms and wilts the leaves. It causes spots (chlorotic lesions) and renders the plant unmarketable. To date, genetic improvement is the only effective way of combating this pathogen.
On the strength of this analysis, our development team selected a new Genovese variety with high tolerance to the races of mildew present in Europe: Loki.
It is based on the genetics and know-how of a specialist aromatics breeder, HILD Samen, whose activities were taken over by GRAINES VOLTZ in June 2020. This variety, available in both conventional and organic seed, will provide you with a real solution and secure your production.
It combines an original Genovese aroma with excellent crop homogeneity. Its behavior in cold conditions is also noteworthy.
