“We have been growing the SeeWhy series of cyclamen since 2016 and continue to increase the numbers every year. Their small leaves and round habit suit our 10.5cm Summer and Autumn flowering production and is far more forgiving if the crop is not spaced on time. The Seewhy series is fast flowering and amazingly uniform. The result is excellent programmability and with reduced wastage.”

However, these varieties can show some disease symptoms or damage when pest or disease pressure is high. Intermediary resistance (IR): the plant variety limits the growth and development of a specific pest or disease, but may show more symptoms compared to highly resistant varieties. Varieties with intermediary resistance will show less serious disease symptoms or damage than susceptible varieties under comparable environmental circumstances and/or pest or disease pressure. Susceptible: the inability of a plant variety to limit the growth and development of a specific pest or disease. Tolerance: the ability of a plant variety to bear abiotic pressure without serious consequences for its growth, appearance and yield. 20. DISPUTES 20.1.
