From September 22nd to September 24th, vegetable professionals from all over the world are welcome at the International Open Days. A unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations in open field vegetable varieties offered by seed companies Hazera and Vilmorin. The event is a real “living catalogue” of many crops and varieties, and takes place on a 2 ha. field located near Dirkshorn (province of North Holland in The Netherlands).

New in this edition: special “Theme Days” composed in collaboration with external knowledge partners on Soil, Market and Taste.

Crop specialists from both companies – daughters of the Limagrain Group - will make visitors familiar with the latest varieties, introductions, improvements, trends and technologies in vegetable growing. Crops on show: white, red, savoy, and pointed cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, onion (extra-long and long day), carrot, beetroot, several types of lettuce, squash, leek, radish, pumpkin, celery, celeriac and endive. A selection of fruited crops (tomato, cucumber, watermelon and others) will be shown on-spot in the pavilion.

On each of the three days, a special theme will be highlighted, all in collaboration with participating external expert partners. These will be presenting interesting content in the pavilion during the day and will actively engage into exchanges with the visitors.

It is possible to request a field book with detailed information on all varieties. The field book will also be available at the Reception during the event. Please contact the companies with the details below to plan an appointment at your convenience.
