Innovation & Trials

Innovation at Jorion Philip-Seeds is not based on theory, but on observation and comparison in the field.

Innovation grounded in practice

Innovation at Jorion Philip-Seeds is not based on theory,
but observation and comparison in the field.
Through trials and follow-up under real conditions, we evaluate varieties and mixtures on their performance, stability and applicability.
In this way, we build step by step a range that proves its value in practice.
La Ferme de Liessart (Béclers)our own trial farm, is at the heart of this approach. Complemented by observations on plots at farmers' fields under real conditions, it allows us to monitor varieties and mixtures across multiple seasons and in a wide range of conditions.

Practical trials on our own trial farm

We conduct practical trials on our own trial farm, supplemented by observations in the field.
By following the varieties and mixtures over several seasons,
we get a reliable picture of their behaviour under varying conditions.
  • Yield and stability
  • Behaviour under different soil and weather conditions
  • Practical application in the field
Selection

Continuous selection & improvement

Innovation doesn't stop with the introduction of a variety.
Varieties and mixtures are monitored and evaluated over several years based on their performance in practice.
Only solutions that continue to demonstrate their added value remain in the range.
  • Long-term monitoring
  • A critical and demanding selection
  • Practice takes precedence over theory

Collaboration

Collaboration with partners & plant breeders

We work together with specialist partners and plant breeders to have access to strong genetics and new developments.
This collaboration allows us to follow and integrate innovations
within a practice-oriented approach.
  • Access to new varieties
  • Reliable and proven genetics
  • Solutions tailored to today's challenges
Transfer

From trial to practice

The results of our own trial farm and practical trials are translated into clear, usable information.
By linking field data to experience, we make innovation understandable and usable within different cropping situations.
  • Substantiated choices
  • Risk reduction
  • Solutions that work in practice

We don't seek innovation for its own sake. We seek what works, durably, in the reality of the field.
