  Testing the varieties in different regions with the different production chains.

Before being offered to the farmers, the Florimond Desprez varieties are included in various trial networks set up within the integrated production chains. By meeting head on the practical requirements of growers and users in the field, we can assess the advantages and limitations of different varieties in different circumstances, and can adjust their future development so as to reflect more accurately the needs of the interested parties.

In order to achieve these goals, the Florimond Desprez teams work continuously with technical institutes, consultants and the technical services of various organisations in order to improve their knowledge of the characteristics of the varieties, and to offer them to the markets with appropriate advice. Our subsidiaries and partners outside France adopt the same procedures.


With this approach, great varieties from Florimond Desprez have left their mark on the development of various sectors; among those varieties:
  • Cappelle, Soissons and Isengrain in Wheat
  • Astrix and Gerbel in Barley
  • Baccara and Badminton in Peas
  • Europe in Alfalfa
