Dedicated to agriculture, gardening and agricultural industry the event aims to put in contact and build stable business relationships between agrarian companies. It\u2019s a place where industry players exchange information, learn about innovative production systems and commercialize products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5483\" src=\"https:\/\/westarseeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/23.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Expo is a very important event for Latin America. This was Westar\u2019s first time in the role of exhibitors with a stand, tunnels, greenhouse, and open fields. We were able to showcase our product portfolio at its best. We met with new and old customers from all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visitors attending the event were about 120 000 people and we were able to meet with more than 1000 of them. Everyone was impressed by our newly developed varieties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5489\" src=\"https:\/\/westarseeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/26.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The varieties that attracted the biggest attention were our habaneros, our hybrid grey zucchini Isabella, our parthenocarpic cucumber Don Emilio and other varieties which we\u2019ll disclose later in this article. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Isabella Zucchini<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isabella caught the eye of the zucchini connoisseurs with its amazing qualities and high produce &#8211; giving producers an average of 200-300 boxes more per hectare than most other varieties. <a href=\"http:\/\/The visitors of our greenhouse were impressed by our parthenocarpic Beit alpha cucumber. This variety lacks bitterness with its thin skin, producing a truly mild and flavorful product. The flesh is firm and crunchy. All female flowers mean that growers can expect optimal high yields.\">This hybrid grey zucchini<\/a> has a better disease package compared to industry leaders with tolerance to PRSV, SLVC, WMV, and ZYMV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5492\" src=\"https:\/\/westarseeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tommasino tomato<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fans of tomatoes were impressed by our indeterminate cherry pear Tommasino tomato. Its fruits are very uniform and oblong, and it is best for breeding in a greenhouse. Tommasino has a great disease package that includes resistance to many viruses such as fusarium. The yield on this variety is incredible, and the plants continue to yield even after multiple harvests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5495\" src=\"https:\/\/westarseeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Habaneros<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our habaneros were warmly accepted by people with \u0430 taste for heat and chili.

Cuauhtemoc is the great jalape\u00f1o variety that has also been trialed in different regions and always performed very well. Its yields are both early and very strong, maturing to exceptionally flavored spicy fruit. It\u2019s one of the larger jalape\u00f1o varieties available, with sizes averaging around 4.5 inches (12 cm). The plant performs very well and provides great coverage for the fruit as it matures. This variety is resistant to BLS 1, 2, 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5501\" src=\"https:\/\/westarseeds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>WS-2023 saladette tomato variety<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WS- 2023 is an indeterminate-growing saladette tomato that demonstrates continuous growing and very high yields characteristic of greenhouse tomatoes.
