GWS is committed to developing competitive as well as innovative products. Our commitment is to offer new products with improved agronomic characteristics, particularly in terms of tolerance to adverse climatic conditions. Our teams provide a constant flow of new products, tested in real growing conditions. Our main breeding directions concern:- Yield increase and stability across various agroclimatic conditions
- Stress tolerance improvement (e.g. resistance to drought and heat, salinity, diseases, etc.)
- Quality improvement (e.g. protein and oil content, food value, digestibility, fiber strength, etc.)
Multiple Security System (MSS) technology
In MSS technology, a big part of the new corn lines is created by doubling haploids that take place in controlled environment of moderate to moderately strong drought and heat stress The lines themselves as well as their hybrids are evaluated under drought and heat conditions at multiple locations worldwide. With the MSS technology we achieve the accumulation of genes that determine drought resistance throughout the breeding process. The effect of the MSS application is evident in dry years when the MSS plants maintain the state of fresh green for 5 to 10 days longer than those of other companies. In this way, plants extend the period of use of even negligible water resources, sometimes achieving astonishing yields compared to competing products.PLUS Technology
PLUS technology is an advanced seed treatment technology. It supports cotton and corn during germination and early growth, delivering:- Improved germination
- Stronger roots and early plant growth
- Improved water and nutrient uptake
- Improved stress tolerance
Production
Objective: to offer high quality seeds, guaranteeing full traceability to ensure customer satisfaction. Golden West seeds are produced in various countries worldwide, following the highest production standards at every step of the production process.Quality Control (QC)
Our state-of-the-art, ISTA-accredited laboratory operates independently, so we can guarantee quality from harvest to packing. We test every lot to ensure full traceability, including:- Moisture content
- Purity, MO, and other seed determination
- Viability
- Germination
- Tetrazolium
- Vigor
- Cool and cold tests
- Additional tests
