from the crop technics, in combination with the greenhouse technic. For this reason, Syngenta
invest in the development of different rootstocks. This investment in research creates the optimal
winning combination rootstock-hybrid.
Rootstocks are mainly used to secure the plant stress As in a lot of situations, the good balance is crucial. We look for
management. In these cases the growers are searching for a plant that is able to keep a consistency, and anticipate a part

is finding the optimal balance between vegetation volume 1) the greenhouse type, 2) the crop technic and seasonal plan,
