Nunhems introduces a new variety, N6556, which has resistance to fusarium 3, a soil fungus that has become a “limiting factor” for crop development
The N6556 adapts to different growing cycles, from the earliest to the latest, and in all of them offers “high production.” This material also stands out for its “good fruit setting at high temperatures,” as well as its good field endurance.
With N6556, BASF | Nunhems complements the N6428, new in the past season and which, as Lapie states, “has offered very good results.” BASF has also launched Cabrio® WG, against downy mildew and powdery mildew. This fungicide is the company’s new solution to combat both diseases in industrial tomato cultivation. “It is a broad-spectrum fungicide,” states Pedro Ríos, Technical Crop Manager Vegetables, who details that, “with each application, we will be controlling both downy mildew and powdery mildew.” Cabrio WG is formulated with pyraclostrobin and has shown “high efficacy” in controlling target diseases. It also has a short safety period that makes applications possible until very close to harvest time. This is their most recent solution in a portfolio in which they already have a wide range of fungicides, acaricides for red spider mite control, insecticides, and herbicides, among others.
Agrigenio is BASF’s decision support system (DSS), a digital tool that allows farmers to optimize the resources needed to make their crop profitable. This software is already available for vineyard, table grapes, olive trees, potato, onion, cereals, and industrial tomatoes, a crop in which the company even goes a step further. “This year we have completed the software with the characterization of BASF | Nunhems seeds,” advances Miguel Martínez, Digital Product Manager Spain of Agrigenio, who explains: “The system offers farmers generic recommendations for tomato cultivation and, especially, for BASF | Nunhems varieties, where it gives you ‘a customized recipe’.”
Provisia Technology is BASF’s new system for grass weed control, which combines their Provisia® rice varieties with Verresta, an ACCase inhibitor herbicide, very effective for controlling various grass biotypes. The company continues in 2025 with the launch of Provisia® rice varieties in partnership with Hisparroz and Copsemar, leading companies in the rice seed segment in Spain. To guarantee the durability and efficacy of their Provisia Technology, the company also has resistance management and prevention programs supported by the advice of their own technical team and experienced BASF Distribution in rice.
With all these solutions, BASF shows, once again, its commitment to the entire value chain in favor of profitable and sustainable agriculture.
