As farming conditions become increasingly unpredictable, we believe plant breeding must anticipate tomorrow’s challenges rather than simply respond to today’s. By combining genetics, environmental modelling, advanced phenotyping and data science, we develop reliable varieties that help farmers maintain performance in changing conditions. Breeding for the field of tomorrow To build resilient crops, we start by […]

In 2026, the R&D department has structured a network of experimental farms dedicated to regenerative agriculture research. Why set up experimental farms? Regenerative agriculture relies on a holistic, farm-scale approach to crop rotations and long-term planning. However, traditional R&D methods, based on field-scale trials conducted over a single growing season, do not allow for a […]

You may have noticed the mention “Act for Regenerative Agriculture” displayed on MAS Seeds seed bags of maize.This wording aims to make visible, directly on our products, our commitment in favor of regenerative agriculture. Why talk about regenerative agriculture today? For over fifteen years, farmers have faced stagnant and unstable yields in many agricultural regions. The progressive degradation of […]

To secure seed production in an increasingly unpredictable climate, MAS Seeds launched in 2024 a network of pilot farms dedicated to testing regenerative agriculture practices. The goal: identify the most relevant technical pathways to restore soil health while maintaining crop productivity, based on real field conditions. In 2025, trials focused on four main levers: Six […]

Ten years after pioneering sulfonylurea‑tolerant sunflower, MAS Seeds once again pushes the boundaries of innovation with the launch of its 1st certified A.I.R. variety, MAS 820AR. In 2016, the company was among the first to introduce a sunflower variety tolerant to sulfonylurea-based herbicides, and today it takes a new step forward as only the second […]

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 […]

In 2025, MAS Seeds’ R&D team tested two innovative practices: intercropping and solar corridors. The objective: to sow cover crops directly into the corn to ensure soil cover from the summer onwards. In grain maize systems, establishing cover crops remains challenging: late interventions on wet soils, risk of compaction… The result is limited cover crop […]

Regenerative Agriculture is the agriculture of tomorrow. MAS Seeds is fully committed to supporting farmers in making this transition a success.  Arnaud Tachon and Ludovic Cousin, respectively the new President and Chief Executive Officer of MAS Seeds, outline the roadmap of the company.   Arnaud, what can you tell us about your appointment as President of MAS Seeds ?  Arnaud Tachon : Strengthening the connection […]

In September, MAS Seeds reaffirmed its commitment to Regenerative Agriculture and strengthened its reputation as an international seed company actively supporting the agroecological transition, through two complementary events: a pre-client event at our Haut-Mauco site (MAS Seeds headquarters in the Landes) and our participation in the Méca-culturales trade show in the Landes.  📅 September 9th […]
