So we can compare hybrids with solid, reliable phenotyping data. đź“Ť Europe + Mexico + Africađź“Š Up to 400,000 plots🌽 30,000 hybrids characterized🌱 400 locations, all on farmers’ fields The point of this scale: […]
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.

In the MAS Seeds laboratory, R&D data is used to: 🔎 predict the most promising crosses before they are grown in the field 🧬 decide which lines to keep and which to discard, based on market expectations and farmers’ needs ⏱ avoid spending time and trial plots on options that won’t deliver. The result: ➡️ […]
In a varietal breeding program, we often think first about the trial plots. But many key decisions are actually made long before the field: in the laboratory. At MAS Seeds, the biomolecular laboratory is a central link in the selection cycle: it turns DNA into actionable information for breeders by targeting key genes of interest […]
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 […]
