The Optigrow® brand is a well-defined hallmark of seed quality. It certifies that your seeds have been enhanced by an innovative, patented and fully ecological method giving them the capacity for supreme storability, early germination, outstanding plant vigour and strong weed competition. In other words: Optigrow® seeds will match all those basic criteria – and bring ecological status and extended storability as added values!

Optigrow® seeds are the result of a unique joint effort involving a number of organisations supporting the development of innovative technology. The technological research was conducted by Nelson Seed Development in close cooperation with Seed Processing Holland – a global leader within seed processing technology.
The project was supported financially by Horizon 2010 – the framework programme for research and innovation within the European Union – and by the Kamprad Family Foundation (Mr Kamprad is the founder of the global furniture giant IKEA). Further support was given by VINNOVA (the Swedish authority for innovation and research).
In 2016, the research director at Nelson Seed Development – Dr Tongyun Shen – was granted The Swedish Award for Innovation in Memory of Alfred Nobel for the development of the method behind the Optigrow® seeds.
