SEED SHOWCASE
TRIDENT AND DEFENDER SIDE BY SIDE
SOMERSET
Trident's adaptability kept surprising
us, " said Dave Whitwood, long-day
onion breeder for Crookham Co. The
aptly named Defender is in the same
sturdy classification as Trident.
" We have a strong working
relationship with growers, and
we were able to watch fields
with our varieties closely, " said
Lyndon Johnson, Crookham's sales
development manager. " There was
a record stretch of hot days here in
Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon
this summer and we saw this healthy
plant with a rich canopy develop
with Defender despite the weather
challenges. This dense canopy turned
into a high-yield crop with good
sizing. "
Somerset has stood out as a
high-yield short-day choice in the
Southwest. The short-day team of Rob
Gobleck and Filippo Remi have close
working relationships with growers
in this region. " We know onions and
we know excellent growers who know
their onions, and this makes a great
partnership, " Gobleck said.
Popcorn
With one of the largest popcorn
seed banks in the world, Crookham
continues to offer growers of the
world many choices in popcorn
hybrids.
" We are specialists in high
expansion popping, and that trend
has continued for decades now. We
also set the stage for a dependable
mushroom type of popcorn for
producers of flavored and coated
popcorn, " said lead popcorn breeder
Dennis Demshar. One of the more
interesting aspects of the Crookham
popcorn breeding program, in which
Crookham works in development with
several growers and food companies,
are the heritage and gourmet popping
corns that offer delicate flakes and a
wide range of colors with antioxidants
found in many of the red and blue
varieties. VGN
