RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT is a high priority at Agricol so that not only seed, but also knowledge and information are being marketed. New products are developed by means of our own breeding programmes, as well as in co-operation with many of its overseas counterparts. PRODUCTION: Agricol's Production Division has the necessary knowledge to its disposal to produce seed of the highest quality that complies with the strict SANSOR certification standards, Phytosanitary specifications and other quality standards. QUALITY CONTROL: Apart from the strict quality control during abovementioned production- cleaning and packing procedures, Agricol's "in-house" government approved laboratory is well known throughout the South African Seed Industry. Germination and purity tests not only assure clients that the products comply with the minimum specifications, but also assure that Agricol maintain their high standards. |
