Win the battle against Rugose and don't compromise on quality. Sometimes you can have it all

Tomatoes, a cornerstone of global agriculture, are not just a staple in our diets but also a critical segment in the agricultural industry. In this dynamic market, BASF | Nunhems stands out with versatile solutions for all different segments and the multitude of challenges that growers face.

Our portfolio is highly regarded when it comes to ToBRFV-resistant tomato varieties. They all meet the requirements of the different levels of the agri-food value chain. Despite their good marks in vitality, productivity, and plant health, Nunhems® Rugose resistant varieties do not compromise on crucial consumer aspects such as flavor, color or visual appearance.

BASF | Nunhems will continue to introduce new varieties with ToBRFV resistance in different segments that meet the needs of the different growing regions around the world, so together we can win the battle against Rugose.
