Freshly eaten or preserved, it is one of the healthiest, and one of the oldest cultivated vegetable species. Our company invests a lot of energy into the breeding of the spined pickling and of the beith-alpha type cucumbers, both for the open field production and for forcing technology. Thus, we are able to support growers and processors with varieties which are competitive on the international markets. We are proud of our pickling cucumber varieties with actual downy mildew resistance, developed  by our cucumber breeding and pathology group as worldwide novelty.
