SCREAMER

Screamer is one of our two newest DSW iceberg varieties that we have recently launched for commercial sales. This variety is best utilized during the winter harvest slot in the Yuma, AZ and Imperial, CA growing regions & carries a powerful disease package of a full downy mildew resistance. 

Screamer is unique in what it brings to the table - we are very excited to see how it can help growers, who are looking to silence the high mildew pressure during the DSW winter harvest slot.

 

VENOM

Venom is the second of our newest iceberg varieties being launched for the Desert Southwest growing regions. This variety is a strong heading, fusarium resistant iceberg that is a true "front end" or fall slotted variety. It can take a punch - Venom is strong against the high fusarium pressure that growers face in this planting slot. You can rely on Venom to provide during this difficult growing period. 

With Venom's ability to produce high quality, fresh market, iceberg during the beginning of the desert counter season - we are excited to see how many growers it can help improve programs for.
