Across numerous field trials in a diverse range of growing conditions CATARINO has proven it’s capability for quality and performance. The trials evaluated have led us to strongly believe in the tolerances to Phytophthora and Bacterial Leaf Spot (BLS) Races 1-10. CATARINO has broad adaptation to multiple growing regions and high yield potential for fresh market applications.

Did you know that greenhouses are vital to the vegetable industry? Most seed goes to greenhouses for 4–6 weeks before being transplanted in the field! It allows farmers to save money, space, time and have a more uniform crop. We are so thankful to the many greenhouses that we partner with to make our customers successful!

Sweet Corn Pollination - corn pollination happens over about 10 days. Did you know that corn is pollinated by the pollen shedding and falling on the sticky strand of the silk? It then forms a tube to take it down to a waiting o***y and if all goes well, a kernel is formed! Each silk is a potential kernel. A sign of excellent pollination is completely full of kernels, poor pollination is lots of missing kernels. After pollination, the corn should be ready in about two weeks.

Fruits (or onion bulbs) of labor on Labor Day!🇺🇲 One thing that is very rewarding is after going through thousands of hybrids during the course of a season you find a few that rise to the top! Its been an extremely dry season this year but we were able to find a few onion varieties, in spite of the harsh drought conditions, that still put on great size, strong root system and good tolerance to pink root. Also, a red that put on great size, deep red skin, high single centers and deep red ring interior.
Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend!🇺🇲🧅🇺🇲🧅🇺🇲🧅 @ Scriba, New York
