Delta ® shelf life and garden performance tests

SHELF L I FE TEST AT FLOWERWATCH, ROELOFARENDSVEEN(NL ) This large flowered Pansy series has earned its strong market position because it fulfils grower and retailer needs best. The uniformity and plant habit are unmatched! If you are looking for a series with a short production cycle and the best shelf life on the market, it is the perfect solution. In cooperation with FlowerWatch, we tested our Delta series and compared it to other series available on the market. The shelf life test included a 2-day transport simulation and

a 12-day shelf life test in a retail environment. All plants came from the same source and were treated the same. FlowerWatch used cameras and physical inspection to monitor the plants. In the report, FlowerWatch confirms that 12 of the 16 tested Delta colours are ‘clearly better’ and the remaining four are ‘slightly better or equal to’ the other tested varieties. Delta for a longer sales period, less wastage and thus greater efficiency!

GARDEN PERFORMANCE TEST AT SYNGENTA TRI AL F I ELD, DE L I ER(NL ) Besides an efficient production and a profitable resale, Delta! is bred to give consumers a great experience. Pansies bring a lot of colour into the consumer’s garden at a time of the year when the availability of flowering products is limited. At Syngenta, we feel the responsibilty to make sure that both the experienced gardener and the impulse buyer are successful with their purchase of right plants.

That is why we also carried out extensive trials on Delta for garden performance at our trial field in the Netherlands. Over a period of 9 weeks Delta was tested against other varieties available on the market. This test clearly showed that, due to its genetic performance, Delta has the highest potential success rate in the consumer gardens. Delta for more flowers, good configuration and an extensive enjoyment period!
