Seeds and yield

Better seed quality, a higher yield

Improve the quality of seeds to obtain better performance by reducing inputs and using eco-friendly phytosanitory products.

Expertise

  • Fertility and plant reproduction
  • Embryogenesis and seed maturation
  • Control of seed filling (proteins, lipids, starch)
  • Storage, conservation, post-cropping of seeds
  • Monitoring germination quality (dormancy and vigor)
