Casa Grande sits in the heart of Pinal County's agricultural corridor, between Phoenix and Tucson along Interstate 10.
Casa Grande sits in the heart of Pinal County's agricultural corridor, between Phoenix and Tucson along Interstate 10. The Eloy-Casa Grande production zone has a long history of melon, cotton, and winter vegetable production irrigated by the Central Arizona Project canal system. Orsetti Seed Company supplies commercial hybrid vegetable seeds to growers and operations throughout Pinal County through an independent dealer network.
Pinal County's desert production window runs October through March, with high heat accumulation from April onward that terminates most cool-season crops. The low humidity of the Sonoran Desert reduces fungal disease pressure compared to coastal California production environments — an advantage for broccoli and cabbage that are prone to downey mildew under coastal fog regimes. BOS 125 melon performs well under Arizona's intense summer heat when planted in late spring for July harvest. Orsetti's 8 processing tomato varieties, ranging from 67 to 80 days to maturity, give Pinal County growers flexibility in scheduling harvest around the heat buildup.
