New Race Peronospora effusa (Pe: 20) Nominated
Spinach is a key crop in BASF’s vegetable seed portfolio. Providing best-in-class solutions to our customers is always our priority.
Peronospora effusa resistance is a key trait in our spinach breeding program. Together with our Breeding and R&D team, we are continuously monitoring the development of Peronospora and looking for new sources of resistance. These efforts help us to offer a reliable resistant portfolio to our customers.
Next to genetic resistance, BASF wants to emphasize the importance of an integrated crop management program. A combination of genetic resistance together with suitable chemical protection should deliver a good crop that is free from Peronospora effusa.
Current resistance information for the spinach range including Pe:20 can be found on our website:
