The
BHNSeed tomato breeding
program began in 1980 in
Naples/Bonita Springs, Florida to improve yield, quality, and disease
resistance for its parent company, Gargiulo, Inc.,
which is the largest fresh market tomato shipper in the U.S. The
program
has expanded since that time to include varieties adapted to different
climates
of the world.
BHNSeed ventured into the
international seed trade in the late 1980s and domestic seed sales in
1998. Today, BHNSeed is a seed market
leader in various countries while continuing to expand in new markets.
BHNSeed success is based on
an extensive and focused breeding program with breeding stations
located in Florida, California, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil. Our
superior hybrids are developed by classical plant breeding techniques
and intense selection in different environments. Field trials of
new experimental hybrids are conducted by distributors in countries
with different climate, cultural, and soil conditions. The most
adapted hybrids
are selected for trial and potential sales.
