Next step in lettuce aphid research
It has completely adapted itself to lettuce, hides deep inside the head and multiplies rapidly. We’re talking about Nasonovia ribisnigri, the currant-lettuce aphid feared by all lettuce growers. Anneke Kroes, a phytopathologist at Rijk Zwaan, explains how her research is contributing to finding a robust solution for lettuce growers.
This collaboration is a precious opportunity for us
Since 2022, Vietnam’s Kingfoodmart and Rijk Zwaan have been strategic partners. “Working together gives us a chance to become a pioneer in selling new vegetables in the market, such as baby celery, baby spinach and mixed Crystal lettuce,” Hồng Trương explains. In product sampling sessions, Sweet Palermo juice turned out to appeal to consumers’ taste buds.

Martijn Eggink, Managing Director of Rijk Zwaan, symbolically drove the first stake in the ground on 11 July. This marked the official start of construction work for the Trial Centre Open Field. The new facility in Heijningen, in the West-Brabant region of the Netherlands, will be home to the open-field team and the new demo location for Rijk Zwaan’s open-field vegetables.
