SAVONA

Spicy Classics by «Agromir-don»

The arugula variety «Savona» is a selection development by «Ooo Agromir-don» and originator Konstantin Tkachenko, designed specifically for professional vegetable farming. Within the leafy greens segment, this variety stands out for its predictable growth cycle and the stability of its rosette formation, which is crucial for marketability in retail chains.

Agronomic Profile and Application

«Savona» was developed as a versatile solution for the HoReCa segment and fresh produce retail. Key characteristics include:

• Type: An annual crop with high vegetative growth rates.
• Use: Perfectly suited for fresh salad mixes as well as a piquant side dish for meat and fish.
• Growth habits: The variety demonstrates solid resilience to temperature fluctuations in both open-field and greenhouse conditions.

Why choose «Savona»?

The primary advantage of «Savona» over mass-market imports lies in its adaptation to local climatic conditions. While many international varieties are prone to premature bolting when daylight hours shift, this variety from «Agromir-don» retains its commercial rosette shape for longer, providing farmers with a wider harvesting window. This makes it an optimal choice for both large-scale agricultural holdings and local farms focused on consistent supply chains.

A notable challenge, common to most arugula varieties, is its sensitivity to soil moisture levels: insufficient irrigation can lead to coarser leaves, diminishing the tenderness expected of a premium product. Therefore, this variety achieves its full potential when grown with precision drip irrigation systems.
