Our research lines…

One target leads all our research: figure solutions out for efficient and sustainable farming!

CLIMATE CHANGE & ABIOTIC PRESSURE
adaptation of crops to water and thermal stress, water efficiency
IMPROVEMENT OF INPUTS EFFICACY
quality of crops and flower production, crop establishment, plant growth, flowering, mineral nutrition
OPTIMISATION OF SEED GERMINATION
improvement of kinetic, lowering of seed treatments phytotoxicity, raw material sourcing with no environmental impact

Our partners…

Complementary to our laboratory, our partners intensify our research lines, helping us to run tests: in-vitro, controlled conditions, green houses and field.

ENSAT is our main partner for our primary research.

UNILASALLE and PURPAN, key agricultural engineering schools, help us to run field tests on diverse soil and climate conditions.

According to agronomic thematics and crops, we work every year with many partners in order to study precise agronomic topics. Seed companies, farmers association, private retailers, cooperatives, research centres… Join our network!
