Squash: New Delhi virus

In the face of the growing threat of the New Delhi virus, we are providing you with a new document to help you better understand the virus, its mode of transmission, the associated risks, and, of course, the symptoms to watch for in your fields.

​

Inside, you’ll find details about the DELHIRIUM N163 variety, which has demonstrated its effectiveness during our trials conducted for the 2024 season.

This variety stands out as the most resistant under high New Delhi virus pressure.

Perfect for open-field cultivation at the end of summer and greenhouse cultivation in autumn – a period highly prone to severe virus outbreaks – it also shows strong tolerance to squash viruses such as WMV, CMV, and ZYMV, as well as powdery mildew.
