Euroseeds, section Vegetable and Ornamental crops (SVO), is committed to supply clean high-quality seeds to their customers and to implement the most appropriate measures and lab tests to mitigate the risks of introduction and spread of Tobamoviruses such as Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV).

The SVO section of Euroseeds is aware that outbreaks of Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus have been reported in multiple countries where this Tobamo virus causes major concerns in tomato and capsicum production. This is the reason why Euroseeds recently issued a document which is aimed at describing some key measures to implement in production sites in order to prevent and minimize the risks of introduction and spread of ToBRFV.
