Corn Seeds

Our goal is the development, production and marketing of high performance seeds.

We work with seeds that achieve the yield, climatic and soil adaptation, and agronomic quality for a market, which needs each day, growth in quality, competitiveness and technology.

A number of hybrid corn seed production systems are used to ensure hybridization by forced pollination between the female and male parental corn lines.

Artificial emasculation (detassling) and male sterility genetic-based systems are currently the most poplar. Detasseling involves the physical removal of the tassel from the female plant, either manually or in combination with mechanical devices.

The detasseling is probably the most difficult to manage of any of the steps in hybrid corn seed production (Wych, 1988) because the time period is so short.
