SLIDES: Spinachpalooza, timing and variety traits • PDF

Presented by the Hensley’s team

Below are the slide deck and written resources from this past webinar, held March 19, 2026.

OVERVIEW: This session helps you pick the right spinach for each planting window. Our presenters explain seasonal slotting and point out the strongest varieties for each slot so you can grow good spinach all year.

They also cover the traits to weigh, such as smooth versus semi-savoy leaves, plant habit and specialty types, so you can match varieties to your goals.

Last comes an overview of downy mildew: what it is, what resistance really means, and how it affects breeding and the varieties available today.

The presenters answer audience questions by chat after the talk.
