High-quality seeds

The germinative ability of a seed is a vital quality criterion for our customers and farmers. Good germinative performance leads to consistent growth of the crop - a key stage in production.

Maïsadour Semences is recognised as a top-quality seed producer. Our seeds are characterised by very high-level germinative capabilities which are well above official standard levels.
