2020

At BASF we are proud to have played a vital role in the development of high wire cucumbers. In 2020 we celebrated 20 years of successful high-wire cucumber cultivation by sharing stories and video interviews with a diverse range of people around the globe and from different perspectives.

BASF’s vegetable seeds business is participating in the Precision Indoor Plant Consortiums’ (PIP) Lettuce Project sponsored by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR). The aim is to develop more sustainable lettuce with longer shelf-life and more appeal to consumers.
