Seed production

Seed production is the final phase, bringing to fruition the work of variety creation and all the associated experimentation.

OBS has 6 hectares areas covered for seed production: from basic lots to commercial seed lots.
Seeds are produced under cover in airtight compartments that are insulated to prevent untimely fertilisation.

To ensure fertilisation, OBS uses different types of pollinators depending on the species:
bees, flies and other pollinating insects.
