Planting stock production
From origin to harvest.
Healthy, pure and reliable
The production of seed potatoes is a central part of Norika’s value chain. It ensures that each variety is not only of high genetic quality, but also healthy, pure and practical.
From in-vitro material to certified seed potatoes, the seed potatoes go through clearly defined stages, strict controls and quality-assured propagation.
Locational advantage of Northern Germany
The best conditions for the best seedlings
The north German coastal region offers ideal conditions for healthy seedlings. Lower virus pressure, isolated fields, long crop rotations and stable weather patterns help to keep crops vital and slow down the spread of any diseases that may occur.
These regional conditions form the basis for resilient, reliable planting stock.
Partner for seedling production
Together for quality
Norika works with certified plant nurseries that meet strict requirements for hygiene, site selection, cultivation breaks and disease prevention.
Many years of cooperation ensure that all steps of the propagation process are implemented precisely. Spreading the farms over several locations further reduces the risk of disease pressure or weather-related losses.
Field inspections and monitoring
Quality in the field
Seed potatoes are among the most strictly monitored agricultural products. During the entire vegetation period, the stocks are checked several times – both by official inspectors and by Norika’s internal experts.
Varietal purity, growth behavior, vitality, tuber set and pressure from diseases and pests are evaluated. This close monitoring ensures consistently high quality.
Storage and preparation
After the harvest is before the harvest
After harvesting, the seedlings are treated gently to ensure their quality until they are used in the field.
Controlled temperature management protects the tubers, dormancy management prevents early germination, careful sorting ensures the desired caliber distribution and each batch remains fully traceable.
