At the Dutch Seed Symposium an interesting spectrum of issues about seeds will be presented by international researchers. Both the knowledge as the participants are interesting for everyone who has to deal with seeds somewhere in his/her process. The quality of seeds and germination is important if you sell the seeds, but also if your breeding programme is hampered by these issues.
