Resistant varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure. Two levels of resistance are defi ned High resistance (): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specifi ed pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure. Intermediate resistance (): plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specifi ed pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high resistant varieties. Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure. Immunity: not subject to attack or infection by a specifi ed pest or pathogen. Susceptibility: Susceptibility is the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specifi ed pest or pathogen. : Thousand Seed Weight 21

Syngenta Seeds Vegetables has exercised reasonable care and skill in compiling this brochure. All resistances quoted refer only to strains of races or pathotypes indicated on the varieties. Other pathogen races or pest biotypes capable of overcoming the resistance may exist or emerge. Syngenta Seeds Vegetables uses highly elaborate analytical methods to verify specifi c variety resistances. Specifi city of pests or pathogens may vary over time and space and depends on environmental factors. In order to maximize the effi ciency of a resistance, it is highly recommended to mix different ways of control such as growing conditions, plant protection products and genetic resistance as part of an integrated crop management. The latest International Seed Federation (I.S.F.) terms and defi nitions describing the reaction of plants to pests and pathogens and to abiotic stresses for the vegetable seed industry are hereby incorporated by reference. The meaning of such terms in any related statement made by Syngenta shall be as provided by the I.S.F. If Syngenta adopts a proper term to defi ne the reaction of plants to pests and pathogens and to abiotic stresses, Syngenta shall inform the customers of such term and of its defi nition.
