For farmers looking for high yields, Vivara is the perfect match, while Cantus® offers good productivity and excellent shelf life'.
Andrea Colpo, CIV's Assistant Breeder, affirms: 'We are focused in the new trend of low chill varieties for the glasshouse productions, we are testing our germoplasm to develop the right genetic for this kind of production".
