The annual Marlo Nursery Farmers’ Day, which is in pursuit of recognising innovation and quality in growing vegetable seedlings, welcomed more than 600 guests this year. The event, which took place on 11 April 2019, showcased comparative trials of over 600 new and existing popular vegetable cultivars from 11 of the most prominent vegetable seed companies in South Africa. It is currently the largest trial that is supported by all the major seed companies in the country. All the trials were cultivated under similar managerial and climatic conditions.

Company representatives at the exhibitions stalls offered growers and media representatives the opportunity not only to ask crop/ cultivar specific questions but also to make use of the opportunity to network with various industry leaders. As one of the sponsors, Nuvance would like to congratulate Marlo Nursery on yet another successful farmers’ day.
