Herbs

Herbs

In recent years the quality and diversity of culinary herbs grown in the UK has increased dramatically. Our breeding work has focused on basil, coriander and parsley, developing varieties with significant agronomic and culinary improvements.

Force ST treatment may now be applied to various herb seeds for the control of bean seed fly. Parsley seed can be primed if enough notice is given. Please contact us for further information.

For additional herb varieties please ask for our speciality brochure.

Lettuce

Lettuce

The Tozer lettuce breeding programme works to meet the demand for a wide variety of different types, shapes and colours. As well as the traditional Butterhead, Cos and Crisp/Iceberg we now have newer types such as Batavias, Oakleaf, Lollos and lots of coloured varieties.

Downy mildew has and always will play an important part in the breeding process because of the implications it has for growers. It is a complicated subject as the fungus is constantly able to change its virulence. Our varieties with several different genes for resistance should provide greater protection from the disease.

Tozer seeds have been market leaders in spinach for over 15 years. Through our collaboration with Pop Vriend Zaden B.V. we are able to offer a comprehensive range of cultivars for year round production in the UK. The Pop Vriend breeders continue to develop new varieties offering resistance to new races of downy mildew, Peronospora farinose (Pfs) as they arise. Our spinach varieties are well adapted to UK conditions and have been bred for high yield, disease resistance, upright habit, enhanced processing ability and superior bolting tolerance.

Today's diverse market requirements demand adaptability and our spinach cultivars are well suited to baby, teen, bunching and processing production.

We are also able to offer specialist oriental cultivars bred in Europe for European conditions. For further information and details of future developments please ask your local representative.
