3rd International Carrot Symposium: Vilmorin-Mikado’s Carrot Range Takes the Place of Honor!

Vilmorin-Mikado sent three of its Carrot experts to inform everyone about the latest discoveries during a number of scientific sessions.

Main topics: To be able to adapt to climate change and see how artificial intelligence might help to provide reliable quantitative data to inform the selection of new varieties.

The speakers were:

• Juliette CHEVALIER, Upstream Selection Expert, Vilmorin-Mikado
• Stéphanie ARNOUX, Carrot Geneticist, Vilmorin-Mikado
• Cindy TORRES, Artificial Vision Project Manager, Vilmorin-Mikado

Our teams went to the British Carrot Growers Association Demonstration Day to promote the wide variety available in our Carrot range, a comprehensive, dynamic range comprising over 50 varieties and 6 types of carrot, including Chantenay, Nantaise and Berlicum.

The 26 carrot varieties presented all stand out for their disease resistance, yield quality, range of colors, roots and uniformity.

One of our most recent innovations on offer, the TERAPUR variety, was a great success. A plant based solution following agroecological principles, this trap crop is intended to give the European market an effective way to control Heterodera carotae, the carrot nematode.
