Breeding is the art of combining the best product characteristics.

Breeding is the art of combining the best characteristics. Characteristics that the eventual buyer finds important such as color, shape, and appearance. But characteristics like durability, disease resistance, and suitability for energy-efficient, heat-tolerant, and automated cultivation are becoming increasingly important. Deliflor leads the way in data-driven breeding and the use of DNA techniques and has advanced lab facilities for testing, preservation, and further development of varieties. Varieties are extensively tested under the most modern cultivation conditions and in various climatic conditions before new varieties are approved for market introduction. By testing varieties at our own locations in Colombia and Japan and with partners in Southern Europe, we obtain excellent information about the performance of a variety worldwide.
