You are a high-tech greenhouse grower
High-performing varieties

As a high-tech greenhouse grower you use modern technology to cultivate vegetable more efficiently. From optimising resources to minimising environmental risks, the complexities of advanced greenhouse farming can be challenging. Sakata is aware of the unique demands of high-tech farming and aims to develop varieties that address these challenges.

High-performing
varieties

To make the most of your technological investments, you need to achieve optimal crop performance by selecting high-quality seeds tailored to high-tech greenhouse cultivation.

When creating varieties for indoor farming, Sakata focuses on disease resistance, improved crop yield, uniformity in shape and size, long cycle, and, most importantly, exceptional flavour and eating quality. Some of Sakata’s high-performing varieties include:

Lemonstar F1, a high-yielding tomato, with strong plant vigour, good tolerance to cracking and excellent taste
Scarlet Star F1, an excellent yielder for high-tech greenhouses
Chocostar F1, a highly productive and very tasty brown tomato

High-performing
cucumber varieties

As natural pollination is limited in your greenhouse, you use parthenocarpic varieties that can ensure fruit setting and yield without pollination.

Under the right high-tech conditions, they can reach very high production levels but it is important to choose the right variety. Sakata’s parthenocarpic cucumber varieties include:

Fraser F1, a pickler cucumber that delivers exceptional indoor cultivation performance without pollination
Gabri F1, a pickler cucumber for indoor production in spring, summer and autumn
Brisbane F1, a very fast and highly productive Long Dutch cucumber for spring and summer production
Darwin F1, a very reliable variety of Long Dutch cucumber with a great resistance package and attractive fruit quality

Hydroponic varieties

If you are a hydroponic vegetable grower who wants to maximise productivity, nutrient deficiencies, and imbalances can be challenges you face.

They can lead to stunted growth and reduced yield. Sakata offers varieties that are adapted to hydroponic cultivation such as:

Oriental Dream F1 and Oriental Rise F1, two pink tomatoes ideal for hydroponic cultivation.
Sakata’s pepper and pak choi varieties also adapt well to hydroponic cultivation.
