SPECIES PRODUCED
  • Rocket

    2017 marks the first harvest of rocket seeds in Deleplanque. Production has been implemented in Provence, where agro-climatic conditions are favourable for the growth of this garden plant species. The rocket seeds have been harvested in July after swathing, and the first results are extremely satisfactory, both in quality and in quantity, which confirms the perfect harmony between the region and the requirements for growing rocket.

  • Sorghum

    The multiplication of sorghum began in 2016 in Provence, a suitable region for growing sorghum. The first results are very satisfactory and making our network of seed growing farmers available to our different clients allow us to glimpse real prospects for development in Provence.

  • Hybrid sunflower

All these interventions are supervised by our technical teams. Deleplanque ensures drying of the harvested seeds of hybrid sunflowers on industrial sites. The seeds are delivered to clients, whether untreated or after the sorting, calibration and treatment operations piloted in Villefollet seed facility.
