How Much Testing Does It Take to Know If Your Corn Variety Will Thrive? 🌽 Did you know it can take more than 3 years, 150 plots and $100k of investment to ensure a variety is a great fit in your area? A great variety on paper means nothing if it doesn’t perform in the field and in the market. Unexpected climate shifts, soil variability, and ever-changing grower preferences make variety development a complex work. What is your experience with corn variety development and testing? Or maybe you have insights working on another crops? Lets discuss below !  Product developers in variety testing face countless challenges—navigating agronomic data, ensuring trials are properly replicated, and making sense of results across diverse environments. The pressure is high: unpredictable climate or wrongly chosen trial locations can mean lost seasons, missed opportunities, and lost investment. The success of a variety depends on how well it adapts to local soil, climate, growing conditions and other factors. Stay tuned as we explore the challenges in Variety Development next week! #VarietyDevelopment #FeedingTheFuture #CropGenetics #SustainableAgriculture #AgriVarieties

✨ Deux jours au Salon de l’Agriculture (partie pro) : un vent de positivité et d’innovation ! ✨ 🚜 Un soutien étatique renforcé L’État accélère le déploiement des innovations agricoles ! La Cour des comptes vient de publier un rapport indiquant qu’environ 6,7 milliards d’euros ont été engagés entre 2018 et 2023, avec une hausse de 30 % sur la période 2021-2023. 📈 (Lien en commentaire) 🌱 L’INRAE continue d’innover J’ai eu la chance d’échanger avec les équipes derrière la variété Geopolis, adaptée aux systèmes agroécologiques et commercialisée par AGRI OBTENTIONS. Une belle avancée pour l’agriculture de demain : bravo à eux ! 👏 🚀 France 2030 en action Les nombreux projets transformants financés par France 2030 témoignent d’une forte dynamique d’innovation. Vous avez sûrement vu passer plusieurs annonces sur votre fil LinkedIn ? Ces initiatives vont bénéficier à tout l’écosystème. Chez Doriane, nous en profitons indirectement via nos clients, notamment AGRI OBTENTIONS, Mercier - Pépiniériste Viticole Expert et AXIOMA Biologicals. 🔬 Les instituts techniques en mouvement L’Acta les instituts techniques agricoles impulse une belle dynamique de collaboration, notamment autour de l’outil Systerre, dédié aux essais systèmes. Une initiative prometteuse pour mieux structurer les expérimentations agronomiques ! 💡 La Ferme Digitale : un rôle structurant L’écosystème start-up agricole se renforce, avec notamment le hackathon d’OSFARM et la signature d’une convention avec l’INRAE, qui prévoit notamment une meilleure circulation des données de recherche. De belles perspectives à venir ! 🌾 Le rôle clé des semences Des informations précieuses à découvrir sur leur importance pour l’avenir de l’agriculture. Lien aussi en commentaire 📊 De nouveaux partenariats en vue Chez Doriane, nous avons identifié des potentiels partenaires, comme Weenat, qui fournit des données pédo-climatiques de qualité, essentielles pour affiner l’analyse des résultats des essais agronomiques. Vivement l’année prochaine ! 🚀🌿 Clément Soulier Mehdi Siné Marianne Sellam Virginie Bernois vincent béguier David Joulin Ressources Humaines SEMAE Secretary general for investment Paris International Agricultural Show Romain VALLEE Jerome LE ROY

Seed choice sets the stage in agro-ecology. Here are some cool examples of varieties designed for sustainable farming:  🌾 Wheat (France) – AGRI OBTENTIONS and INRAE recent Geopolis wheat variety, considered agro-ecological due to its robustness in cultivation and adaptability to its environment. 🥕 Carrots (USA) – Organic Seed Alliance bred carrots like the Fantasia breeding line, that improve soil health by fostering beneficial microbes. 🍇 Grapes (France) – Mercier - Pépiniériste Viticole Expert has developed naturally resistant grapevines notably the Nathy-Sauvignac. 🥔 Potato (Germany) – Several organic varieties created by SOLANA Group notably the multi-resistant yellow Almonda. 🍅 Tomatoes (France) – In the vast range of organic seeds developed by GAUTIER Semences, the KAKAO variety excels for its robustness, savor, and high yields. Which crops do you think need better varieties for regenerative farming?  Share your thoughts in the comments! Regenerative farming uses crops that thrive with low input and in tough conditions. Then you wonder: Where do we find these super plants? 🌱💪 Not all wheat, carrots, or tomatoes are the same. Each crop has many varieties—some thrive naturally, while others depend on substancial chemical inputs. In regenerative farming, choosing the right variety is key. A variety is a specific breed or strain within that crop, carefully selected for its characteristics. For decades, breeding focused mostly on yield. Now, plant breeders are selecting varieties that thrive naturally—resisting diseases, surviving drought, and growing with minimal chemical products. By choosing the right varieties, we can reduce conventional phytosanitary use, improve soil health, and grow better food while helping biodiversity! 👉 Want to breed stronger crops?
