Classeed has developed true garlic seeds made from garlic flowers. The seeds enable making new varieties and genotypes with completely new plant DNA. Those varieties can be planted in various areas worldwide and open the door to revolution in garlic production. We also discovered new ways to propagate garlic with a much higher multiplication factor, while saving enormous costs to the grower.
Garlic (Allium sativum) lost the ability to flower and create fertile seeds 7,000 years ago. It is currently grown by planting cloves. Cloves have the same DNA as the parent plant. The cloves are exposed to many viruses & sicknesses. Most of the garlic grown today surfers from low production and uneven shape and appearance.
Classeed’s achievements are based on knowledge accumulated by top Israel’s governmental research center with the collaboration of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
We offer our partners worldwide acquiring the new technology to have better garlic with a sophisticated breeding system.
