Growers need tomatoes with ToBRFV resistance

When Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus was first discovered in 2015, we knew it would have significant impact, and we knew we had to get started finding genetic solutions as soon as possible. At Syngenta, we take the responsibility of finding solutions seriously and worked tirelessly to introduce the first tomato variety with resistance in 2020.

Even so, as I work with growers and breeders today the question still remains: how are we going to fight this virus? It’s no simple solution; it will take combination of innovative new products and good greenhouse hygiene practices.
