Danson Seed Company has established a plastic tunnel trial ground in Fillmore, CA to provide test conditions similar to those found in markets surrounding the Mediterranean. The new factilities will be used to evaluate new indeterminate tomato, sweet pepper, hot pepper, squash, and melon varieties being developed in our breeding programs.

Danson Seed has been expanding all of its breeding programs focused on the development of new greenhouse varieties in response to the continuing growth of protected culture production all around the world.

Plastic tunnels are among the least expensive systems to provide protected culture. California is seeing a very rapid increase in the use of plastic tunnels primarily for berry crops. The trial grounds
will offer local growers the opportunity to see how well crops other than berries respond to unheated plastic tunnel production.
