Seed meets Technology
Date : 9/25/2018 - 9/27/2018
Location : Tolweg 13, 1681 ND Zwaagdijk
Time : 9:00-17:00
The Seed meets Technology event will kick off its fifth edition from 25 to 27 September
2018 (week 39) in Seed Valley. This year’s highlight is the symposium titled 'The future of
seed treatment - is there a threat for treatment?' with speakers from Limagrain and Ctgb,
among others. The main theme is the reduction in seed treatments and the vision on it
from a perspective of technology, seed companies and regulations.
Growth
The aim of the event is to be a meeting point for visitors and companies from Seed Valley
and beyond. Seed companies that do not organise open days themselves are welcome to
show their machines, services and new varieties on the exhibition floor or trial fields. The
objective of the event is also for companies to show their products on their stands. In
addition, the programme is focussing on keeping visitors abreast of new innovations and
projects. After starting in 2014 with 15 participants, the event is now 4 times bigger and the
number of participants has risen to almost 50. The event attracts more than 1,700 visitors
from all over the world.
Programme
In the coming edition, many participants are organising their own meetings on various
subjects. Volkmann for example, is giving a lecture about the transport of seeds, and Seed-X
is organising a meeting about increasing breeding probability and shortening breeding time.
Amphasys will be focusing on improved seed yield and prediction by monitoring pollen
quality in its meeting, while Incotec will be looking at big data and deep learning.
The three general symposiums this year are about new cultivation systems, seed treatment
and using proprietary data to create value (data processing). View the entire programme

limited.
