Field quality

High-quality seed starts in the field

Quality to our core

We begin in the field to help maximize high-yield potential


We focus on seed quality from the beginning to help maximize high-yield potential. That’s why our Seed Production and Field Quality specialists conduct timely inspections in search of potential issues in these areas:

1.     Plant health
2.     Purity

They scout for disease symptoms and other deviations. If they see anything that looks like it could be a quality problem, they take samples and send them to the seed health diagnostics lab for analysis. After receiving the results, measures are taken to quickly mitigate any issues.

We also have five diagnostic labs worldwide that help us detect and mitigate potential issues promptly, giving us a strong edge in providing a reliable, consistent, and high-quality seed supply.

Quality to our core

Matthew May, Field Quality Diagnostic Lead, explains how we use advanced diagnostics to help ensure seed quality excellence.
