Supplying customers with plant innovation that meets their needs

“When you evaluate varieties you are at the interface between our Ukrainian customers and our research colleagues. The job involves choosing new varieties that best meet user needs on the basis of our trials. Currently, Ukrainian farmers prefer to grow grain corn varieties with an FAO earliness index between 220 and 350. Their priority is to have good hybrids that are stable in yield with grain that dries quickly; but they also need tolerance to drought, which often handicaps the crop. Proximity with farmers is essential to understand their quality needs for their varieties. The creation of our new breeding station in Ukraine is crucial to account for the specifi c nature of each country when breeding, and to create research programs that are adapted to customer requirements.”
