Drought-tolerant plants are becoming increasingly important for growers
Less water, same quality
In various production regions, pressure on available water resources is increasing. As a result, growers are actively seeking crops that use water more efficiently without compromising on quality, uniformity, and ornamental value.
"We observe that growers are increasingly requesting varieties that maintain stable performance under challenging conditions. This is not only due to regulations but also because their customers are more explicitly demanding it."
