Disclaimer on Product Illustrations
All varieties shown were grown under favourable conditions. Identical results are not guaranteed nor implied for all growing conditions.
The copy rights of all illustrations on this website belong to Nunhems BV. All rights reserved; no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored or transmitted in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of Nunhems.
Disclaimer on Genetically Modified Organisms
The seeds of varieties which are supplied to Buyer are varieties bred from parent components which have not been genetically modified. The methods used in the development and conservation of these varieties are aimed at avoiding the presence of off-types, including genetically modified (GM) organisms. Seed production has been carried out in accordance with production rules in the country where production took place, including stipulated isolation distances. However, in open fields there is free circulation of pollen. Since it cannot be excluded that in seed production areas the cultivation of approved GM plants by others takes place, it is not possible to prevent totally the adventitious presence of GM material and to guarantee that the seed lots comprising this delivery are free from any traces derived from GM plants.
Disclaimer on Variety Registrations
The Nunhems varieties listed and published on the website may not (yet) be free for sale in all countries because of local, national and international registration rules. The status of these registrations can vary day by day. Please consult our sales department for the latest updates.
Definition of the terms describing the reaction of plants to pests or pathogens for the vegetable seed industry
(as adopted by the International Seed Federation (May 2005)
- Immunity: Not subject to attack or infection by a specified pest or pathogen.
Resistance is the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen and/or the damage they cause when compared to susceptible plant varieties under similar environmental conditions and pest or pathogen pressure. Resistant varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
- Two levels of resistance are defined:
High resistance (HR*): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
Intermediate resistance (IR*): plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to resistant varieties. Moderately/intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure.
* The standard abbreviations HR (high resistance) and IR (intermediate resistance) shall be used in all languages.
Susceptibility is the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen.
