ESKUSA GmbH

Initiative breeding

• We have been successfully pursuing an arnica breeding program for several years
• In 2015 we started breeding narrow-leaved or blue lupins and have now registered a first variety for green manure purposes
• The first selection steps have begun for other species that we consider interesting

Contract breeding

• We would be happy to grow exclusive plant material for you
• Corrections or improvements to individual characteristics in existing varieties take place under breeder supervision
• We combine maintenance breeding in young generations of seed propagation stocks with seed production

Agronomy + ingredients

• Our specialty is the combination of selection for ingredient qualities and contents with selection for the most important agronomic characteristics
• We work together with a network of private analytics companies and scientific institutes
• Example arnica: high flower yield + very high active ingredient content (sesquiterpene lactones)
• Dandelion example: root yield and morphology + high rubber content
