New Varieties

Refined through selective breeding and proven in trials and R&D, only the best new cultivars advance to production, and when they do, the vital role of the Seed Production team commences. To make any new seed available it must first be multiplied to produce ‘breeder’ seed, which itself goes through another harvest. The resulting ‘seedstock’ seed is supplied to our specialist growers for sowing to produce the seed ready for sale.
