VERDOR is a non-dormant variety which makes it an excellent variety for use in warm climates with very mild winters. Verdor is very winter active resulting in an early first cut and prolonged production period in the autumn.
Verdor was registered in Spain in 2002 after a testing period of 5 years. It appeared that Verdor outclassed Spain’s most common ecotype variety Aragon significantly. Thanks to Verdor’s outstanding persistency and excellent disease resistance (Anthracnosis) , the variety maintained a high annual production level.
Verdor is an erect growing variety with high resistance to lodging. The variety shows a nematode resistance of 29%. It also shows a high salt tolerance.
