THE ENZA HERB STORY
Enza Zaden has been selling herbs since 2001.
ENZA are constantly working to improve our existing varieties. By developing disease resistance in our herbs, we make sure our customers get the best crops and seed quality. We also test our varieties for shelf life to supply our customers with products for both local and export markets. All herbs are tested for NFT (nutrient film technique) suitability and we have gained a high level of expertise over the past years. We have made significant investments to ensure our growers get the best seeds possible.
This brochure gives you an overview of our herb portfolio. Learn more about our new generation of basil, parsley and rucola varieties with excellent quality traits like resistance, shelf life or cold tolerance. Our RMTD label indicates those varieties in the brochure so you can identify them at a glance. Moreover, you can also find our other herb types and well-known varieties in this brochure.

Thinking Eggplant? Think Fito.
Semillas Fitó is a Spanish multinational that was founded in 1880 in Barcelona. Over the course of the last 140 years it has gone from being a small family seed enterprise to one of the biggest multinationals in the field of genetic improvements and the production and distribution of seeds for horticultural and field crops.
Semillas Fitó is a company that has not only managed to grow but also to tackle the challenge of internationalisation. Nowadays, Fito varieties are sold in over 70 countries around the world where many Fito varieties are seen as benchmarks in their specific crops.
Fito has 8 specialised breeding stations and 12 trial stations around the world with a growing number of subsidiaries across a diverse range of countries including Chile, India, Italy, Mexico and Turkey with the specific goal of assisting growers, in the quest to improve and adapt their varieties to local regions and climates.
Terranova Seeds are proud of our long-term relationship with Semillas Fito and we see an increasing number of Fito varieties being bred and commercialised that have a very good fit in the Australian market.
