Several companies have launched disease-resistant seeds, for example, on February 2023, BASF introduced new tomato seed varieties that are resistant to ToBRFV. Their Nunhems(R) portfolio currently includes a selection of tomato seed varieties that exhibit resistance to ToBRFV. Likewise, In March 2024, Syngenta Vegetable Seeds opened a new Seed Health Lab in Hyderabad, India, showcasing the company's ongoing commitment to enhancing quality control capabilities. This lab is India's first specialized seed health lab. It will cater to growers not only in India but also across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
