TRIAL FIELD From a varietal point of view a further control is carried out by placing every year test-demonstratives fields. All produced seeds are sowed during several periods of the year and compared with varieties of national and foreign origin, in order to keep a high varietal standard and to control the healthiness of plants. Our Trial Fields are at the disposal of customers for guided visits. 40 years of experience and the passion for our work, the Mission of our Group, led to have in Investments, Organisation and Human capital the keys of our success. 1 2 INDEX SPECIES FAMILY PAGE SPECIES FAMILY PAGE Artichoke Compositae 4 Kohlrabi Cruciferae 62 Asparagus Liliaceae 5 Leek Liliaceae 63/64 Basil Labiatae 6/7 Lettuce Compositae 64/73 Bean Leguminosae 8/17 Melon Cucurbitaceae 73/75 Broad Beans Leguminosae 18/19 Onion Liliaceae 76/81 Broccoli Cruciferae 20 Okra Malvaceae 82 Broccoli Raab Cruciferae 21 Parsley Umbelliferae 83 Brussels Sprouts Cruciferae 22 Pea Leguminosae 84/87 Bunching Onion LilIaceae 22 Pepper Solanaceae 89/93 Cardoon Compositae 29 Pumpkin Cucurbitaceae 94/95 Carrot Umbelliferae 30/32 Radish Cruciferae 97/99 Caulifl ower Cruciferae 33/35 Red Cabbage Cruciferae 24 Celeriac - Celery Umbelliferae 36/37 Rocket Cruciferae 100 Chicory Compositae 38/46 Rutabaga/Swede Cruciferae 112 Chinese Cabbage Cruciferae 23 Saltwort/Agretti Chenopodiacae 101 Coriander Umbelliferae 47 Salsify Black Compositae 102 Cornsalad Valerianaceae 48 Salsify White Compositae 102 Cucumber Cucurbitaceae 49/51 Savoy Cabbage Cruciferae 27/28 Cucumber/Melon Cucurbitaceae 51/52 Spinach Chenopodiaceae 103/104 Eggplant Solanaceae 53/54 Sugar Pea Cucurbitaceae 88 Endive Curled Compositae 54/55 Summer Squash Cucurbitaceae 105/110 Endive Scarole Compositae 56 Swisschard Chenopociaceae 113/114 Feguz - Snake Melon Cucurbitaceae 51/52 Tetragonia Aizoaceae 115 Fennel Umbelliferae 57/58 Tomato Solanaceae 115/119 Fodder Beets Chenopodiaceae 59 Turnip Cruciferae 120/122 Garden Beets Chenopodiaceae 60 Watermelon Cucurbitaceae 123/124 Gourd Cucurbitaceae 96 White Cabbage Cruciferae 25/26 Herbs 127/128 Winter Radish Cruciferae 125/126 Kale Cruciferae 61 Winter Squash Cucurbitaceae 110/111 autore: Romano Ronchi stampa e grafi ca: LITO B.M.
