July 5th 2024
Vegetable growers and chain partners from all over the world are welcomed each year at the Bejo Open Days in Warmenhuizen. This year, the event will take place from Tuesday 24 September to Saturday 28 September. During these days, visitors will have the chance to get acquainted with the latest Bejo varieties and there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss the prospects and challenges within their field.
Latest varieties
Together with customers and partners, Bejo is constantly researching changing field conditions and evolving market and consumer trends. These insights form the basis for the development of new and improved vegetable varieties that enable growers to harvest healthy and tasty vegetables worldwide. At the demo fields, varieties are shown that have been improved on traits such as disease resistance, storage quality, yield, appearance and taste.
Vegetable concepts and greenhouses
Innovative vegetable concepts will also be presented during the Bejo Open Days. Taste, health and ease of use are central to the development of these concepts. Special attention will be paid to the extensive range of beet varieties, which in addition to their cultivation properties also provide inspiration for new applications to chain partners. Bejo is organising an exclusive beet symposium for invited guests as part of the Open Days program.
In the greenhouse, Bejo will have its fruit crop assortment on display. Tomato, pepper and gherkin varieties will be exhibited, focusing on the latest developments and innovations within these crops.
Guided tours and demonstrations
Technology plays an important role in the development and production of new varieties. During tours of the Seed Processing Facility and the Research Centre, visitors will gain insight into the latest developments in breeding and seed treatment.
New this year is the Seed Research Expo, where extensive information will be given on various topics within seed research and how they contribute to Bejo seed quality. Bejo beekeepers will also talk about bee health and bee research activities.
Various sowing, fertigation and harvesting demonstrations will take place on the demo fields. Several mechanisation companies will present their products and services and give live demonstrations. This will introduce visitors to the latest innovations for sustainable solutions within the sector.
