High yielding and high quality varieties do not arise by themselves — behind them is a skilled, well supported and passionately dedicated staff. In addition to investing in people, we continuously invest in the best techniques, methods and equipment.
In breeding, we have in recent years invested heavily in genomic selection, enabling faster breeding progress. We use genetic markers to identify traits such as disease resistance and quality characteristics. To speed up development, we also use tissue culture as part of the breeding process. In trial operations, we have made significant investments in new digital solutions.
