" Because of the current get-up-and-go spot , cultivator find themselves in a difficult position . An unfavourable energy contract bridge ram some raiser to think in alternative ways and look for new possibilities . How do I minimise energy stimulus ? What can I produce ? What is in demand ? "
Wim Zandijk , film director and owner of the Holland - ground seed company Muller Bloemzaden , has these sort of conversation on a daily basis . The answers are not always easily found , but he can ply advice and , of course , supply the best seeds .
" seed are definitely our focus , " says Wim . " fortunately , most of our clients look to the hereafter with authority and continue their production . However , concerning come , they generally became even more critical in terms of germinating power and tone . If the germinating power is just 50 or 60 percentage , you end up putting energy into something that is n’t there . For us , 80 percent is received , although the germinating mightiness of most seeded player exceeds 90 percent . "
This is potential because Muller buy only the best available seed from lead producer worldwide , with who they generally have had long - lasting sex act . Because of this , seed almost always originate from those regions that have optimal climatic conditions . Furthermore , unlike other suppliers , Muller operates independently , betray cum from all major producers . " All breeder believe their training is best . But at Muller , we do n’t breed anything . Therefore , we also have no interest in advising this or that variety . "
As a result , Muller also does n’t shy away from consult . " We are able to share the experience of others . We see what clients have to make out with , and sometimes we can remove doubt . What are the specific circumstances of the cultivation ? What kind of greenhouse is used ? What is the soil like ? This is especially authoritative abroad . Is the customer locate along the shoring or inland ? Does it immobilise in wintertime ? What is the condition of the soil ? All these thing accumulate , and together you reach new insight and surrogate new idea . "
Does Wim see a rise in another kind of assortment due to all of the vigor troubles ? " No , but broadly speaking , we notice more growers switching to sowing themselves alternatively of ordering plant from far away . This is chiefly link to transport cost . Shipping come is very garish compared to terminate products . Besides , this make for production home , and it becomes more local . That saves transportation costs . "
