Innovation
Innovation is part of everything we do, not for its own sake, but to create practical solutions that every customer can trust. From breeding breakthroughs to advanced seed treatments, our investment in people, research, and technology ensures better results today and tomorrow.
Seed technology
With over 30 years of specialist experience, we’re the UK’s leading seed treatment experts. Our core focus is maximising quality and consistency, and our enhancements give crops the best start, ensuring even germination, stronger early growth, and higher marketable yields.
Cleaning and Grading
Removes debris and sizes seed for optimal handling and drilling to help maximise the number of drilling days for farmers in a season.
Optical Sorting
Enables us to rapidly and precisely remove damaged or contaminated seed with unrivalled accuracy, tailored to bespoke customer requirements.
Disinfection
Washing and hot water treatments protect plant health as protection options narrow. The aim is to give our growers the cleanest healthiest seeds possible.
Enhancement
Priming, pelleting, and film coating gives crops a uniform, vigorous start. Our enhancement processes are designed to maximise yields and return.
Research and development
Our research and development programme turns big challenges like; climate resilience, pest resistance, and yield stability, into practical, field-ready solutions. By working closely with growers, processors, and leading UK research institutions, we make sure every breakthrough is grounded in real-world needs. Investment in advanced facilities, genetic marker technology, and nationwide trials means we can refine varieties faster, test them under true farming conditions, and deliver innovations that give our customers a competitive edge.
