Three new official Bremia fysios have been denominated officially: Bl:29, Bl:30 and Bl:31 (Bl is abbreviation for Bremia lactucae). They represent three important groups of lettuce downy mildew (Bremia) isolates found on European lettuce at this moment.

Now that these Bremia fysios have officially been recognised, Rijk Zwaan can once again inform its customers clearly and fully about the resistance patterns of its varieties. All resistance information has been updated on the local Rijk Zwaan websites. For more detailled information about Rijk Zwaan lettuce varieties and their resistance patterns, it’s recommended to contact a Rijk Zwaan crop advisor.
