Disease Packages Expands into new RZ Romaines

Rijk Zwaan USA is proud to introduce three new Romaine Varieties this year with the Bremia Resistances package and Nasonovia. All three are
available for commercial sales right now.

41-64 RZ has proven excellent for an emphasis on hearts. It is a medium green color, very erect with a strong resistance to Internal Burn. Resistant
to HR Bl:1-26/Nr:0, IR LMV/Rs.

41-40 RZ has been designed to replace Nirvanus RZ. It is a medium green color with an open habit that is more resistant to Internal Burn than Nirvanus RZ. Resistant to HR Bl:1-26/Nr:0, IR LMV/Rs.

41-53 RZ is a new type of (Open Heart) Romaine that has been introduced by RZ Breeders last year. It is a Romaine that has more leaves
than a commercial variety, with the leaves being mostly the same size and width consistence throughout the head. Making it suitable for both the Processor and Crown Market. Resistant to HR Bl:1-15, 17-22, 24-26/Nr:0, IR LMV. For more information about these varieties and/or samples, please contact Karen Marie Feliz.
