The challenge of ToBRFV for farmers

ToBRFV has rapidly spread across many tomato-producing regions, overcoming the standard resistance genes used to fight Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) and Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).

Sakata understands the complexities and demands of breeding and developing market-leading products. Sakata’s research teams work to identify and incorporate resistance genes, providing growers with a variety of options to combat ToBRFV effectively.
