Interview with Dr. Isaac Nir

Are you using organic seed treatment?

No, we do not use any organic or non-organic materials to treat our seed. All our seeds are untreated.

Our seed processing center is located in a dry desert area where the  environmental conditions are optimal around the year and keep the seeds at their highest quality. To preserve the initial quality and to avoid contamination, we keep the seed in an optimal surrounding environment:

  • Facilities:
    All facilities and equipment are kept
    at a very high level of cleanliness. The machinery is thoroughly cleaned before and after every lot and the total working environment is shining clean at any given time.
  • Storage:
    After the seeds have been cleaned
    , we place them in ‘controlled atmosphere refrigerators’ with low humidity (25% R.H.), low temperature (15-17 C), good ventilation and in perforated cotton bags.

The controlled storage combined with the surrounding desert environment maintains the quality and viability of the seeds for a long period.
