On-Site Breeding Strategy
Our Marmara R&D Stations at Bursa-Center and Mustafakemalpaşa are used for vegetable, field crops, and industrial crop breeding and to sustain pure seedstock crop stocks.
At our Aegean R&D Station and East Mediterranean R&D Station we conduct breeding activities for vegetable, corn, cotton and industrial crop varieties while at out Thrace R&D Station we conduct Hybrid Sunflower breeding activities
With our controlled greenhouse infrastructure, we conduct breeding activities 12 months a year without interruption, which helps us rapidly realize product development processes. Additionally, we continue our breeding activities at Central and Southern hemisphere countries such as Chili, Argentina, Mexico, and South Africa and conduct testing genetic purity and off-season foundation seed enrichment activities.
We conduct multi-year trials of the Cotton and Corn varieties we develop in GMO-free and organic farming regions of the USA, testing their adaptability, yield potential, and resistance to disease and climatic factors.
