Breeding
In response to the demands of the carnation markets in the world, and within a continuous process aimed at innovation and excellence, SB Talee reaffirms the importance of research and breeding of new varieties. A sophisticated process of selection and refinement gives birth every year to an exquisite offer of shapes, textures, and colors.
More than 3,000 varieties that are kept in the company’s genetic bank are carefully reviewed and some of them are chosen as the parental individuals that, through carefully designed crossing programs, will produce about 60,000 seedlings each year.
A meticulous process of evaluation and selection of these codes will give rise after 4 years to the new commercial varieties.
