With the aim of presenting releases and the main cultivars of the professional seed lines, Topseed, Topseed Premium and Superseed/TSV, Agristar do Brasil will open, for the 18th time, its Experimental Station, in Santo Antônio de Posse (SP), for visitation from the entire horticulture chain in Brazil and the world, on Open Field Day, its traditional field day.

In addition, you will be able to see, first-hand, the following launches: Nivus tomato, Vitória carrot, Itachi chives and Augusto rootstock, by Topseed Premium; Taos tomato, Solar carrot, Chelsea onion, Hulk okra and Naruto chives, from Superseed/TSV Sementes and the Microgreens portfolio, from Topseed.  

The coordinator of the Experimental Station and agronomist, Everton Ichikawa, says that the field has been prepared since October last year, when samples were collected for soil analysis and cover crops were sown to improve its characteristics.  

"We have been organizing and taking care of everything for the visitors who will be at the Open Field Day for months. We will have more than 190 varieties, including commercial, pre-commercial and test products, in almost 23.000 m² of open field crops, and around 420 m² of greenhouses will be presented: cocktail tomatoes (mini tomatoes), salad tomatoes (Italian), cucumbers (Japanese and industrial) and products for hydroponics (hardwoods and crabapple). in real cultivation conditions", concludes Everton.
