INCOTEC therefore initiated research to assist seed companies improve their production of spinach seed. We are calling this process SDR - Shorter Daylength Requirement.

The SDR process that we developed will synchronize the flowering of basic seed in spinach seed production.

By treating the female line with SDR, the female line will germinate faster and more uniform. Bolting should occur earlier (approx. 7 days earlier compared to untreated seed).
 

In intensive trials it has been observed that the yield per hectare after SDR treatment of the female line increased by as much as 10%, depending on climatical conditions. >>>
