Harris Moran Seed Company breeds the best and forgets the rest. The company breeds vegetable varieties designed to boost yield, reduce chemical inputs and increase freshness, flavor and quality. Its seed varieties include beans, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cilantro, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, leek, lettuce, melons, peppers, pumpkins, radicchio, radishes, squashes, tomatoes and watermelons. The company concentrates on four plant-breeding basics: yield, eating quality, adaptability and disease resistance. Its integration into Groupe Limagrain allows the company to tap into plant pathology expertise, biotechnology, post harvest fruit physiology and more diverse germplasm bases, which allows Harris Moran to create new and better varieties of seeds that feature disease protection built-in, not added on.
