Agrifusion Limited announces the launch of SEEDLYNX flower seeds, which will operate as a division of Agrifusion Ltd., based at Maldon, Essex, UK.

Under an agreement negotiated with Floranova, SEEDLYNX has acquired the varieties and stock of an extensive range of annual and perennial species, which will be offered to the international seed trade on a wholesale basis. The new Seedlynx catalogue is in the course of preparation and will be available to seed companies on request.

Tony Hender will head up the Seedlynx activity. He is well known for his long involvement in the flower seed trade, most recently with Floranova, as well as his association with the Fleuroselect organization and the Royal Horticultural Society.

Drawing on Tony's extensive experience in breeding and seed production, and the agricultural seed technology expertise of Agrifusion and our sister company Lion Seeds, the primary objective of the company will be to supply seed of high quality at realistic prices. Initially, the Seedlynx research programme will concentrate on seed processing and the enhancement of seed quality and germination. At the same time, a flower seed breeding programme will be started under the direction of Dr. Sarah hansell, senior plant breeder, who has previously bred Agristar Linseed and Tyerman Borage, both market leader varieties.

Seedlynx intends to establish an individual role in the marketplace as a wholesale supplier of quality seed products.

Agrifusion is a specialist plant breeder and seed company focusing on industrial, pharmaceutical and cosmetic oils, based in Essex, UK.
