At MAS Seeds, our trialing network is built to reflect what the market is asking for across soils, environments and climates. So we can compare hybrids with solid, reliable phenotyping data.
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.
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.
🚀 The objective has remained clear: ensure continuity, go deeper on key topics, and boost performance on what we’ve been implementing over the last two years.
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.
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.
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.
Arnaud Tachon : Strengthening the connection between the Seeds division and the field Crop division of the cooperative is strategic for Maïsadour. Last year, when the seed corn production plan was reduced, we saw how essential it was for these divisions to work in cohesion to meet member farmers’ expectations. That is why I now […]
During the show, MAS Seeds hosted a roundtable titled “What Role Do Seeds Play in the Agroecological Transition?” This conference brought together a diverse audience—farmers, institutions, journalists—and fostered rich discussions between our experts and Frédéric Thomas. The exchanges confirmed the crucial role of seeds in a successful transition and reinforced MAS Seeds’ legitimacy in driving […]
