Stages and variety evaluation

Creation of Variability

The creation of variability involves the identification of the best available germplasm at the international level, both through the evaluation of phenotypic data (e.g., disease resistance surveys scoring, qualitative analysis results) and genotypic data (QTLs and genes of interest). Subsequently, targeted crosses are carefully planned among these parental lines, guided by the specific breeding objectives.

Selection

The progeny derived from these crosses are then multiplied and subjected to rigorous selection through plot trials conducted in agriculturally relevant environments for each target species. This selection process may also incorporate artificial inoculation with major fungal pathogens, the application of molecular screening techniques, genomic prediction, and qualitative analyses. To expedite the selection process, various tools are employed, such as winter nurseries, speed breeding, and single seed descent methods. These techniques enable the rapid identification of superior individuals that will serve as the foundation for developing new cultivars.

Testing

In parallel with the breeding activities, an extensive network of field trials is conducted year after year to validate the products. These are subjected to agronomic evaluations in diverse environments, and through close collaboration with the processing industries and other operators in the supply chain, their commercial positioning is defined based on their intended use. APSOV also collaborates with various research institutions, both public and private, to expand the genetic base to work with, thus ensuring its customers a range of varieties and hybrids of excellence.

Research

Integrated Technical Innovation

Leveraging established expertise, continuous investments, and partnerships with key innovators in the sector, the APSOV research department develops state-of-the-art technical solutions. These solutions are specifically designed to address challenges on a large-scale crops such as wheat, soybeans, and sunflowers, aiming to maximize yields. Solutions are systematically presented to clients through projects focused on optimizing genetic potential from both agronomic and commercial perspectives.

Development

Projects

Brevetto

Qualidose

By combining superior genetic performance, optimal seed planting rate, and ensuring healthy, protected plants, we are able to consistently achieve maximum yields. The field results are extraordinary.

Tanning technology

Silver

Protection guaranteed for the seed, thanks to the Systiva fungicide, for the operator and for the environment through the SEPITER SILVER film that significantly reduces dustiness.

The germination and development of plants are favored by the starter effect of Ympact. The cost is low in relation to the safe increase of yields. The Silver technology. is an exclusive of APSOV.

Technical proposal

PSP

The Early Seeding Project (Progetto Semine Precoci, PSP) : thanks to the use of varieties with a low winter development and a high quality tanning technology, PSP is a technical proposal, safe and guaranteed to anticipate the sowing of 15 days.

It’s an exclusive APSOV patent, complete and effective.

The use of varieties suitable for early sowing and low density makes this solution very efficient even on the economic side, with costs comparable to traditional sowing.

The field results are impressive. An excellent mix of high-performance genetics, ideal seed dose, healthy and protected plants, offers the chance to consistently reach maximum yields.

Why use Qualidose?

High-performance varietal offer
Total protection against fungi
Great safety in early sowing
Ideal planting rate
High efficiency of special seed treatments
Exceptional cost-benefit ratio

Sepiret Silver

Film Coating

It promotes adhesion to the seed of all components used, reducing dustiness and increasing flowability.

Ympact

Fertilizer

It improves germination and nutrient availability, thanks to the complex of organic-mineral substances that penetrate the seed.

Langis

Insecticide

Pyrethroid insecticide effective against wireworms and other soil insects in the early stages of plant development.

Systiva

Fungicide

It guarantees a greater number of emerged plants and is the only seed coating that controls foliar diseases, such as helminthosporiosis and septoria leaf spot.

Get to know us

Open days

The "Open Days" program includes a series of field events organized to promote a comparison between all participants in the cereal supply chain. These meetings are open to producers, agronomists, and market operators, and offer the opportunity to evaluate in the field the innovations available for the next sowings of cereals, forage mixtures, and protein crops.
