Seed-X's revolutionary GeNee tech sold to De Bolster

De Bolster, the leading organic seed breeding company, has announced the purchase of Seed-X's breakthrough GeNee technology.

De Bolster champions sustainable solutions for organic farmers and is harnessing the power of GeNee Technology to improve the usable plant rate of its tomato, pepper and cucumber seeds.

GeNee technology is the world's first seed scanning solution that uses computer vision and artificial intelligence, rather than mechanical sifting processes.  By disrupting conventional seed processing, it sets a new standard in seed lot quality.

Its non-destructive, seed-by-seed classification, based on image analysis, predicts germination and other unaddressed quality attributes. It promotes seed waste reduction, and increases usable seed quantities.

As a result, seed suppliers can restore the market value of otherwise unsellable batches.

With traditional separation procedures, an average of 10%-15% seed lots fail to meet the target quality. That figure can drop to only just 5% with GeNee Sorter.

De Bolster has bought the GeNee™ technology ready-embedded in a sorting machine built by German-based company Petkus Technologie GmbH in partnership with Seed-X.

De Bolster will use the Petkus OS-P machine to map the size, color and other attributes of germinated seeds, allowing it to improve the performance of its current seed processing line and strengthen its production capabilities,

It will provide customers with organic, highly-germinating and vigorous seeds produced in a sustainable, more cost-efficient manner.
