SORREL-FREE

A field free of sorrel requires a special technology.

SAATBAU LINZ uses a machine with velvet rollers which can eliminate sorrel seeds from crop seeds of roughly the same grain size. The cleaning process is time-consuming and labour-intensive. This technology ensures a very high level of sorrel elimination.

Every seed batch is tested for sorrel seeds (rumex spp.) at take-over or after pre-cleaning. After processing to achieve standardised seed quality, there is another test for sorrel. If necessary, the seed is cleaned with the velvet roller machine until it is free of sorrel (e.g. no impurities in a 100g sample of red clover seeds).

This is how we guarantee highest quality levels for our seed mixes.
