Agronomic Tips

  • Vigour is the speed at which the variety emerges and matures in the field. Seminis’ vigour scale is based on a range of 1 – 10, with 1 being low vigour and 10 being highly vigorous. But what does this mean for your planting decisions? A vigour rating of 1 - 3: Varieties with a vigour rating of between 1 and 3 are less vigorous. These varieties are suitable for summer growing windows. The slower maturity means that the variety will develop a leaf thickness that is acceptable to the market and will incur less bruising during processing. A vigour rating of 3 - 7: Varieties with a vigour rating of between 3 and 7 are moderately vigorous. These varieties are suitable for transition growing windows. Moderate vigour means the varieties will emerge and develop consistently over the maturation period producing the correct leaf thickness and plant habit required in the transitional season. A vigour rating of 7 - 10: Varieties with a vigour rating of between 7 and 10 are very vigorous. These varieties are suitable for winter growing windows. Highly vigorous varieties means they will generate quickly, which is optimal for cold conditions where speed to harvest is important for all growers.
