Seeds Services

SynTech Research offers an excellent seeds testing service to assess the quality and viability of seeds used for planting. These analyses make it possible for farmers, seed producers and sellers to ensure that the seeds they are using have a high potential for germination and the development of healthy plants.

Our Team

Our team is composed by highly trained and technically competent scientists and managers. Within our seeds services, SynTech Research seeks to ensure that our staff always follows all policies and procedures for the management of crop-specific requirements in accordance with USDA-APHIS and/or the various local biosafety and biosecurity regulations.

Seed Testing Services

Our technical team is experienced in seed testing, both conventional and biotechnological. Therefore, they carry out the following actions:

  • Evaluation of crop varieties. 
  • Trait development. 
  • Abiotic stress tests. 
  • Drought stress tests. 
  • Nitrogen use efficiency tests. 
  • Biofuel variety testing. 
  • Seed treatment tests. 
  • Protein expression. 
  • Nutrient composition. 
  • Evaluation of agronomic equivalence.

 

In addition, the covered crops we offer include:

  • Corn.
  • Soybean.
  • Cotton. 
  • Cereal crops. 
  • Rice. 
  • Canola. 
  • Sunflower. 
  • Sugar cane. 
  • Vegetables.

These evaluations were carried out in small demonstration plots and PDA maturity and characterization trials. These included threshing, sorting, treating and packaging the harvested seeds so that they were ready for testing.

Biostimulants

Products for nutrient uptake and efficiency, stress tolerance and crop quality enhancers.

Biocontrol

Macrobial (insects, mites and entomopathogenic nematodes), microbial (bacteria, fungi, viruses) and natural products.

Locations to conduct Drought Tolerance Tests

We conduct drought tolerance tests in the following sites: 

In the United States we conduct these tests in three states: California (Sanger, Visalia and Davis), Arizona (Maricopa) and Kansas (west central). 

In Mexico, we conduct drought tests in Los Mochis. 

In South America, we conduct drought tests in Chile (IX Region and VI Region). 

In Europe, we conduct these tests in Spain (Albacete).
