ThermoSeed is a unique biological method for treating seeds to remove seed-borne infections. The method, developed by
Lantmännen, reduces the need for pesticides within agriculture, benefiting the environment and promoting biodiversity as
well as reducing costs for the farmer. The method has become widespread and has made a huge impact globally and will be
crucial for farming of the future.
