It all begins with quality seeds

At the very beginning of the seed’s journey, there are the carefully selected plants, chosen for their role as parent lines in seed production.
Once in bloom, the flowers of these chosen plants are gently pollinated. Slowly but surely, a beautiful fruit begins to take shape and grow.
When the time is right and the fruit reaches maturity, the seeds are carefully harvested, then go through delicate cleaning and drying processes, ready to start a new life.

Harvesting seeds

At Morel, seed harvesting is a meticulous, hands-on process tailored to each variety. Our team carefully handpicks seeds, ensuring only the highest quality makes it to the next stage. This careful approach guarantees that every seed we deliver meets our rigorous standards for quality and performance.

Our seed cleaning process

We guarantee an optimal start for your crop by thoroughly cleaning the seeds after harvest. We remove all impurities, ensuring that every seed you receive meets our stringent quality standards.

Drying seeds

The drying phase is a critical step in ensuring the long-term preservation of seeds and maintaining their germination potential. At Morel, we use a gentle yet efficient drying process. Seeds are dried on trays with fans for even gentle drying. We also use mesh-lined drying cabinets to ensure optimal airflow and consistent quality. This meticulous approach guarantees that every seed retains its quality and vitality over time.

Sorting for optimal quality

Rigorous sorting is essential for high-quality germination. Specialized machines sort seeds by weight, density, and shape. Between batches, machines are thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination. Finally, purity and germination tests ensure the highest quality standards are met.

Uniformity at its best

We sort seeds by size to ensure uniformity in every batch we sell. By eliminating empty or non-standard seeds, we provide only healthy, high-quality seeds. This ensures efficient operations for you and a uniform, successful crop.

Testing for perfect results

Maintaining our reputation for top-quality products starts with rigorous germination testing. At Morel, we conduct extensive tests in our in-house laboratory, external laboratories, and greenhouses under real growing conditions. Our goal is to ensure optimal seed quality and uniform emergence, delivering the best possible results every time.

Controlled storage

Our seeds are carefully stored in cold chambers with constant temperature and humidity, preserving their viability and maximizing their longevity. Germination quality is regularly monitored throughout storage and commercialization, guaranteeing reliability at every step.

Production, germination, harvest, cleaning, storage, packaging, distribution: at every step, we cultivate excellence for your success.
