OVER 100 YEARS OF EXPERTISE!

EUROPE & WORLD

We are conscious that each land require specifications which answer to pedo-climatic conditions. SECOBRA Recherches develops a lot of partnerships all over Europe and the word. Varieties are tested in severel countries in order to guarantee a double adaptability : agronomy and positioning in the fields.

FRANCE

The headquarters of SECOBRA Recherches have been set up in Maule (Yvelines, France), regrouping the experimental station covering almost 230 hectares (560 acres), the workshops, the varietal identification and selection laboratories, the growth chambers and greenhouses, the vegetal biology and molecular marking laboratories and the seed station. Amongst the biggest varieties selected in Maule, it is important to mention: ESTEREL, ARTURIO, ETINCEL, ISOCEL, PASSEREL and more recently PIXEL and COCCINEL for Winter Barley; VOLGA, NEVADA, ASTORIA and more recently EXPLORER, TRAVELER and FOCUS for Spring Barley and finally, PARADOR, PALEDOR, ROSARIO and more recently DESCARTES, NEMO, GARFIELD for Wheat.

GERMANY

SECOBRA Recherches has two experimental stations in Germany, associated with SECOBRA Saatzucht.

The first station has been located in Lemgo, in North Rhine-Westphalia, since 1992. It has 100 hectares (250 acres) and is equipped with workshops and selection laboratories. Several varieties of barley and wheat have been developed here, particularly JANA, THERESA and FRANZISKA for Winter Barley, the leaders in Germany; JOSEFIN, TRAVELER, EXPLORER and PASSENGER for Spring Barley and ORCAS, ALEXANDER and CHAPLIN for Soft Winter Wheat.

The second experimental station has been located in Feldkirchen, in Bavaria, since 2007. Historically, this station is specialized in Winter and Spring Wheat, but a selection program for two-row barley was developed in partnership with the French selection program. The wheat selections include: IMPRESSION, MANAGER, ASORY, CAMPESINO and GENTLEMAN. The complementarity of the main SECOBRA Recherches selection sites in Europe allows for the testing of a disease sample group and their numerous races on the species that have been selected, as well as the principal pedo-climatic situations.

UNITED KINGDOM

SECOBRA Recherches has developed a very strong partnership with Agrii in Throws Farm / Dunmow in Essex. This is where Soft Winter Wheat programs adapted to the United Kingdom, but also to France, are developed.

A selection station has also been set up in Lincolnshire for the Spring Barley variety.

AUSTRALIA

SECOBRA Recherches has existed in Adelaide, Australia since 2017. A Spring Barley program has been developed for the Australian continent from the Spring Barley program at the University of Adelaide. One variety is currently being marketed: LA PEROUSE. SECOBRA Recherches is involved in agronomical and qualitative projects, in conjunction with the SARDI and MBITTC projects.
