Behind the technical acronym NGT, for New Genomic Techniques, lies a true evolution in plant breeding. Faster than traditional crossing, more precise than chemical mutagenesis, and above all achieved without inserting foreign genes, this technology pushes the boundaries of innovation and agronomic performance. Since December 2025, the European Commission, the Council and the European Parliament […]
Technical guide for sucessful growing alfalfa. Alfalfa comes from Asia minor where it was identified almost 10,000 years ago. At the time, it was considered as a forage crop that was easy to grow and store, which explains its rapid spread, firstly in Mediterranean Europe, East Africa, followed by North Africa.
