The group places a high importance on Research and
Development, and from its bespoke Headquarters in the UK,
supports development programs in all our locations.
Multidisciplinary research capabilities continually develop
and improve our lettuce products, which form a large input in
our total progam. These include materials science for pellets
and coatings, seed physiology for seed enhancements and
priming systems, chemistry for active ingredients coating
research and methodology, and biochemistry, angled at the
successful application of beneficial organisms, such as
bacteria and fungi.
Our research programmes are complemented by an
extensive network of internal and collaborative agronomic
trials and fully dedicated technology transfer programmes to
production and corresponding quality systems.
