Siegers Seed Company is known for the extensive trials they conduct on seed before they make it available to any of their growers. They continually work with breeders/producers to develop products that surpass what the market requests. Currently they have the Vilmorin AGORA and RICARDO hybrid radish in trials. “We pick varieties that ensure growers larger diameter radishes that are less likely to split, pith, or bleed, “ said Al Zoet, “We have found the Vilmorin radishes have greater yield, uniformity, better recovery after harvest and quality pack-out’.

Siegers Seed Company puts the newest seed varieties through rigorous testing under many different environmental conditions. These Vilmorin trials have show to produce a better product model than the accepted standard. “These are the results we look for when determining what seed to bring to our growers,” added Roy Pearman, Director of Sales and Marketing for Siegers Seed Company. Growers who purchase their commercial vegetable seed from Siegers have the benefit of knowledge, expert advice, years of experience and complete programs based on extensive trials that provide them with solutions, programs, and proper expectations.
