One third of all Clause
staff, working in multidisciplinary teams, are directly involved
in research and development. |

Specialized research stations |
|
|

La Bohalle,
based in the West of France is dedicated to temperate
climate crops including carrot, cauliflower, corn salad (mâche), fennel and broccoli.
In the South of France, two research stations, one at
Valence and the other at Saint
Rémy de Provence are specialized in more Mediterranean
crops including melon, pepper, tomato, squash (courgette),
chicory and lettuce.
At La Mojonera (near Almeria), in Spain, our teams
work on the main crops for what is the biggest vegetable market
in Europe: melon, tomato, pepper, squash…
In addition to the main research centres, Clause has
screening stations in Italy (Latina),
Spain, Middle East (Upland and Jordan Valley for example)… to test the new varieties under specific
climatic conditions.
The breeding teams are backed up by state of the art laboratories
equipped with modern material.
A worldwide network of agronomists follow up the results of
the new varieties in a wide range of different climatic and
geographic conditions. These specialists are experts in a given
geographical area and are able to come up with accurate recommendations
for their customers and dealers. |
