APROSE advises certified seed as a guarantee of profitability and quality

Faced with the bad forecasts for the upcoming cereal season, where the drought is expected to reduce our country’s production by 40%, the Professional Association of Select Seed Producers (APROSE) has appealed to farmers now, more than ever, to bet on the use of Certified Seed.

The reasons for this choice are significant: Certified Seed requires less sowing, which in 2017, with the crop estimates being handled, should be taken into account

The impact of the drought on the next cereal harvest will not only lead to a decline in average yield per hectare but also a loss of grain quality. That is why APROSE insists that, once this harvest is over, farmers opt for the use of Certified Seed, as it is accessed through new varieties that help to improve yields and consequently increase the profitability of Farms.

Certified Seed is synonymous with saving because it requires less preparation time for the seed

Thus, the farmer will avoid spending significant time in conditioning the grain of his own crop for the sowing, as well as having a high space to store the seed.

Certified Seed is the beginning of any traceability process that responds satisfactorily to the food safety demand of today’s society.

More and more farmers decide to bet on it; last year the level of utilization of Certified Seed was increased by 11%

Also evidence of the growing interest in this product is the success of the events dedicated to the Certified Seed held in May, surpassing the 2000 attendees at the GENVCE Conference, the 600 in Semillas Aragón Seminar, more than 250 at the VI Open Day In Albadalejito or the 400 that attended the Certified Seed Day of Zamadueñas.

Faced with the devastating forecasts of this year APROSE recommends not to stop believing in the advantages of Certified Seed, since:

• You will need to plant less to get more
• Betting on quality to get better productions and performance
• Save in seed doses to ensure the much needed savings with the losses that are augured
• And, above all, to ensure that the possibilities of seed-borne diseases
