We have two experimental farms where crop varieties are tested in specific soil and environmental conditions, under BioSabor’s own agricultural management. We seek to improve the flavor, resistance, yield and sustainability of our products and our cultivation techniques.
Every year we test more than 25 different varieties of tomato, cucumber, zucchini, watermelon and melon. We do it in different farms to verify qualities derived from different areas with different climates, soils, structures, and crop cycles.
Our aim is to find solutions that further improve our products in terms of taste, better post-harvest life and homogeneity in production for more added value through sustainable processes.
We seek to improve the taste, resistance, performance and sustainability of our products and cultivation techniques. Our purpose for tomato is to find one or more varieties that, when grown organically and sustainably, exceed in organoleptic quality the varieties grown so far by our farmers. Data on the quality and development of different coded varieties are analyzed. All the seeds we use have been produced in accordance with organic production regulations.
From these results we select varieties to be studied in the following growing season. Those varieties that test favorably in two consecutive seasons are uprooted in the third season to assess their response to soil and climate change.
During the last two seasons, the results from our experimental farms have permitted our producers to plant and develop the cherry tomato flavor variety Sorentyno.
In addition, we carry out screening of all crops and varieties already in production on our farms comparing them with those that are currently being selected. We even participate in shared tests with the most important seed houses in the world, testing developments together, before the new variety goes out to the rest of our producers in the area.
Crop management trials of nutrition, climate and production areas permit us to adapt the new varieties to the field.
