Starch mills, semolina manufacture, bird rearing, oil cake, oils, forage, bio-ethanol... Corn, rapeseed and sunflower production must be able to be used in a wide variety of applications today, and be capable of being produced in a variety of growing conditions and specification parameters (non-GMO, organic, sustainable agriculture, etc.)

Maïsadour Semences' Research department is particularly attentive to its market and develops breeding programmes in close cooperation with sales teams. Over and above the standard aims of improving yield and appropriate earliness, increasingly programmes are also incorporating features such as the following:

Hardiness criteria:
resistance to disease, cold, drought, adaptability to different soil types, etc.

By combining traditional breeding methods and modern tools such as molecular marking, Maïsadour Semences researchers can quickly create both converted and original versions.

Controling sanitary quality of the harvest from the field to the silo

Our breeders also study sanitary quality of maize throughout the processing chain and implement various solutions to control it fully.

Genetics
Breeding began over 40 years ago in a basin in which virtually every leaf and ear disease was present. Obviously, breeders selected healthy material.

STIMUL
Scientific studies carried out by the group since 2001 have provided the maize industry with tools to control fusaria from the field to the storage silo.
