And the benefits of its top genetics and technical expertise during the Flower Trials 2011 - 14-17 June 2011

Where passion meets knowledge
Daily 30 minutes knowledge sessions on different subjects are the opportunity to meet the professional technical experts from Syngenta Flowers and Priva. Visitors are welcome to just step in, listen and participate.
From 14 to 17 June 2011, Syngenta Flowers welcomes everyone involved in growing and marketing of pot & bedding plants at the Priva Campus. Top genetics and many novelties are on display under the Syngenta Flowers key brands, Yoder Mums, Goldsmith Seeds and Goldfisch Cuttings. The Syngenta team invites growers, exporters and retailers to the knowledge sessions organized together with Priva.

Whitefly-free Poinsettia
- Ulrich Eberhart, Crop Specialist and Jan Mostert, Head of Controls
Syngenta will explain the Syngenta Flowers approach to ensure Whitefly-free cuttings and young plants are delivered into the market. The speakers explain how this impacts mother stock and propagation areas. And they touch in the importance of IPM (Integrated Plant Management).

Perennials from Traditional to Professional
- Gerard Werink, Product Business Manager Perennials
Syngenta breeding programmes are making rapid headway in bringing seed- and cutting raised herbaceous perennials towards the high performance standards expected in major bedding plants. Through improved genetics and expert advice on production, growers can take full benefit from the increasing consumer demand for perennials.

Planning The Key to your Mum Success
- Noel Vincent, Crop Specialist Mums
In extending Syngenta’s wide range of Garden Mum varieties, breeders are successfully targeting longer shelf life and deliver better colors. To maximise returns over the ten week marketing period, accurate programming is vital, using daylength reduction as necessary. Noel Vincent explains how.

Diabunda – the Flexible Annual
- Heike Groneman, Crop Specialist Annuals and Biennials
Genetic progress gave the highest possible standards of consistency, reliability and shelf life to this new dwarf dianthus series. Heike Groneman explains how Syngenta Flowers technical production support will enable growers to present Diabunda as a premium product for sale from early spring onwards.

Optimize automatic Fertigation based on environmental conditions
- Priva
Priva is among the world’s leaders in control systems for the precise application of water and nutrients. Increased production and reduced costs are among the benfits for growers.
