Agassi

Trialed for the first time in summer 2007, Terranova Agassi Broccoli has shown good potential for the summer harvest slot. In particular it stood out during the Mid summer dry spell against the market standards, holding together its typically well formed dome and uniform bead size in testing conditions.

Agassi was compared from a late November through to Mid May harvest, with the best results showing up from
February through to May.  Maturity time was similar to Arcadia.

Growers may wish to consider trying some smaller commercial plantings of Agassi this summer to view for themselves the benefits Agassi has to offer.
