ADAMA sales were 18 percent lower at $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2023, significantly impacted by channel destocking.

Key Points: 
  • ADAMA sales were 18 percent lower at $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2023, significantly impacted by channel destocking.
  • Syngenta Seeds sales grew 3 percent to $3.3 billion in the first nine months of 2023, driven by robust pricing to cover higher costs.
  • Syngenta Group China, consisting of the Group’s Seeds, Crop Protection, Crop Nutrition, MAP and digital activities in China, achieved sales of $7.7 billion, up 9 percent, in the first nine months of 2023.
  • Syngenta Group China’s Crop Protection sales increased 3 percent in the first three quarters of the year, with robust agriculture sales compensating for lower non-agricultural by-product sales.

A High-Resistance ToBRFV Tomato Variety is Within Reach - NRGene and Philoseed Announce Successful Resistance Validation by Customers.

Wednesday, June 28, 2023

NRGene (TASE: NRGN) and Philoseed have announced major progress toward widespread commercialization of ToBRFV (Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus) high resistance trait in tomatoes.

Key Points: 
  • NRGene (TASE: NRGN) and Philoseed have announced major progress toward widespread commercialization of ToBRFV (Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus) high resistance trait in tomatoes.
  • Furthermore, NRGene’s DNA markers (PCR-based) showed excellent correlation with the resistance trait, making them ideal for developing resistant tomato varieties.
  • Back in February 2022 NRGene and Philoseed announced that they had successfully mapped DNA regions in wild tomato plants that enhance their resistance to ToBRFV.
  • To date, ten seed breeding companies have licensed and incorporated the seeds harboring the resistance into their elite tomato varieties.

Successful Study Deactivates Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) Resulting in Thousands of Tonnes of Greenhouse Waste Diverted From Landfills

The study was successful and secured a new disposal method for spent stone wool (i.e., rockwool), vines, and other organic greenhouse waste infected with the virus.

Key Points: 
  • The study was successful and secured a new disposal method for spent stone wool (i.e., rockwool), vines, and other organic greenhouse waste infected with the virus.
  • However, Walker's results demonstrate that greenhouse waste infected with ToBRFV can be safely composted and diverted from landfills.
  • This could mean more than ~35,000 tonnes (MT) of compostable waste can be recovered and safely reused each year.
  • "This discovery will take the pressure off the province's waste management infrastructure by inserting thousands of tonnes of recycled compost waste back into the circular economy and out of landfills."

NRGene and Philoseed Reach Major Milestone Towards Developing ToBRFV High Resistance Tomato Varieties

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

NRGene (TASE:NRGN) and Philoseed announce a major milestone in the development of high resistant tomato varieties to overcome the tomato brown rugose fruit virus ToBRFV.

Key Points: 
  • NRGene (TASE:NRGN) and Philoseed announce a major milestone in the development of high resistant tomato varieties to overcome the tomato brown rugose fruit virus ToBRFV.
  • In an effort to combat the virus, NRGene and Philoseed partnered in November 2020 to develop varieties resistant to ToBRFV, leveraging NRGenes predictive computational abilities and Philoseed's unique resistance source and breeding expertise.
  • It will facilitate the development of DNA markers and seeds of ToBRFV high resistance (HR) tomato varieties and is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
  • We are thrilled and highly optimistic that this discovery will open up new and exciting avenues to enable breeding tomato varieties with dominant high resistance to the ToBRFV.

Monday, November 16, 2020

The identified tomato resistance source for ToBRFV by Philoseed (patent filed) will be mapped using ultra density genetic map.

Key Points: 
  • The identified tomato resistance source for ToBRFV by Philoseed (patent filed) will be mapped using ultra density genetic map.
  • Resistant tomato lines and the DNA marker sets will be available commercially to all tomato seed companies for fast trait integration.
  • The new Tobamovirus strain, first found in Jordan and Israel around 2014-2015 was designated, the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV).
  • We are excited to collaborate with Philoseed and jointly fight the Tobamovirus spread, said Dr. Gil Ronen, NRGenes CEO.
