Field days play a critical roll for farmers. They allow farmers to see new varieties and technology in their own, local setting. Trying out a new seed variety can be a risk for any farmer. It can be similar to a leap of faith, as farmers plant their seeds and receive the fruit of their labor many months later. If the seed is not optimal to their conditions, a poor harvest or crop failure is a very real risk.

Thankfully, however, leaps of faith don’t have to be blind. This is where field days are a critical element in the improvement of farmers productivity. A field day is an exhibition of the scientific method– where a new seed variety is planted next to an old, to test and demonstrate the advantages of the new genetics.

In the Honduras market, Mickylee type watermelons have been a staple for years. In today’s field day, the advantages of PanDia Seeds’ Mickylee variety has been demonstrated. PanDia Seeds works tirelessly to improve the quality of seed genetics. The Del Campo and PanDia Teams have performed years worth of research in Honduras to ensure the optimal genetic lines are being offered to the market. In today’s field day, PanDia Seeds line of Mickylee was planted against its main competitor’s variety. It is an in-field demonstration of the advantages that PanDia Seeds’ Mickylee brings, including outstanding uniformity, tremendous plant vigor and health, high yields, and quality fruit.

Leading growers from the region and around the country are visiting the field day to see for themselves the advantages that PanDia Seeds’ Mickylee brings.

Congratulations to Del Campo and the PanDia Team in Honduras for performing excellent work that will help growers in Honduras and the surrounding region gain more productivity from their farms by selecting the best genetics in the market.
