SINOP

Stable yields with minimal maintenance

When growing arugula, the primary concern for any agronomist is the persistent risk of fungal infections. The «Sinop» variety from Rijk Zwaan serves as a reliable tool in this regard. Field testing confirms that its standout feature is resistance to downy mildew (peronospora). This effectively reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, which significantly lowers production costs and simplifies the operational workflow.

Agronomic performance and market appeal

The plant exhibits excellent uniformity, which is critical for mechanical harvesting operations. The leaves grow dense and develop that signature nutty flavor highly sought after in the HoReCa sector. «Sinop» is a perfect choice for fresh salads and as a sophisticated side dish garnish.

• Ease of cultivation: High disease resistance thresholds minimize production risks.
• Stability: Rijk Zwaan genetics ensure predictable growth, even during fluctuating seasonal temperatures.
• Economic efficiency: Fast turnaround times for marketable mass allow for multiple planting cycles per season.

If you are looking for a crop that doesn't require constant intervention in the field and consistently produces a premium-quality product, «Sinop» is the workhorse you can rely on. Fewer rejections, predictable logistics, and positive feedback from your end customers are guaranteed.
