RAGT has a database called SEV® (Système d’Evaluation Variétale) which contains all the results and observations of trials carried out on its varieties. These data are the result of RAGT research, small and large plot trials and also comments from specifiers, distributors and industrial companies.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of data are entered, with different agronomic and technological criteria so that it is possible to cross and fine-tune our varieties. SEV® is used by selectors to sort and choose the lines; by RAGT project managers for variety knowledge, regionalisation of the varieties, variety use and the positioning in terms of market
opportunities. It is a reactive tool which we share with our customers to enhance the genetic progress of our varieties.
