More than genetics alone
For growers, success not only comes from genetics alone. A strong variety gives you a head start, but the real difference is made in the greenhouse: in early decisions, timely adjustments and the confidence to act when conditions change.
That is where Growing Support of Schoneveld Breeding proves its value. Not as support from a distance, but as a practical partnership built on direct contact, shared knowledge and a deep understanding of cultivation. Growing Support helps Yazawa Engei turn knowledge, genetics and direct contact into better crops.
A long-term partnership in practice
For Mr Yazawa of Yazawa Engei in Japan, that partnership plays a key role in daily operations. His company, with a 60-year history, produces around 300,000 pots annually, mainly cyclamen and Iberis, and is recognised for its high-quality production and stable management within the MFG Group, a network of leading pot plant growers .
Mr Yazawa has worked with Schoneveld Breeding varieties for about 15 years and has relied on Growing Support for more than a decade. What began as a visit has grown into an ongoing exchange of knowledge. As his assortment expanded, so did the need to understand international cultivation practices and respond to increasingly challenging climate conditions.
Mr Yazawa: “Growing Support gives us more than technical advice. It deepens mutual
understanding and helps us look ahead to the future of cyclamen cultivation.”
Learning that moves you forward
His experience captures the value clearly: “Growing Support gives us more than technical advice. It deepens mutual understanding and helps us look ahead to the future of cyclamen cultivation.”
The added value is not abstract. Adjustments in fertilisation strategies improved crop balance, while new insights into environmental control led to the introduction of mist systems to cope with summer heat. In today’s climate, that kind of support is not a bonus, it is essential for staying in control. Visits from Schoneveld Breeding Growing Support specialists are a key part of that process.
“The visits help us check our approach, plan the next season and move forward with more confidence.”
Confidence you can grow on
That confidence translates directly into results:
- Better summer conditions reduced flowering delays
- Improved fertilisation led to more uniform crops
- Targeted advice helped suppress disease earlier.
The support is visible where it matters most: in quality, timing and consistency.
The power of a knowledge partner
For Schoneveld, Growing Support is part of a wider promise: strong genetics backed by expert knowledge. Its network connects growers with specialists who understand both the varieties and the realities of cultivation.
“Schoneveld combines strong genetics with data-based cultivation support. That gives us the confidence to make better decisions.” That is the power of a knowledge partner working alongside growers, sharing insights and turning experience into progress.
