New addition to the NÖS range

Following the positive judgement of the Variety Commission, we are starting 2024 with two new varieties:
We are pleased to present the newly approved mainly firm cooking varieties Benjamin and Lisbeth.
You can find more detailed information on the characteristics of the two varieties in the respective variety sheet (Benjamin & Lisbeth).

As Benjamin and Lisbeth are still very young, seed availability for cultivation in 2024 is limited for both varieties.
However, there is enough seed available for carrying out trials.
This allows you to test whether the varieties are suitable for your requirements and your farm.
If you require quantities for trials or have any questions about the two varieties, our team will be happy to advise you.

Generation change in the cooperative!

DI Michael Buxbaum was appointing as the new managing director of NÖS. Ing. Manfred Herynek begins his well-deserved retirement.
