World Seed Congress ISF: PETKUS Academy Expert Talks
At ISF 2026 in Lisbon three of our industry experts are hosting three expert talks on their specific fields:
May 18th, 2-3 pm from Josip Mamic: PERFECT SEED IN PRACTICE: FLEXIBLE CLEANING ONE-STEP PROCESSING AND HIGH- PERFORMANCE CALIBRATION
Seed producers face increasing complexity: more crop species and varieties, smaller lots, stricter purity requirements and frequent changeovers often combined with challenging size distributions that make calibration inefficient. This PETKUS Academy seminar presents practical, next-generation mechanical cleaning and calibration concepts to achieve Perfect Seed.
May 19th, 10-11am from our Sales Manager Innovative Products, Mikhail Rumyantsev: FROM SINGLE-KERNEL IMAGES TO SYSTEM-LEVEL PREDICTIONS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE A A TOOL FOR MAXIMIZING NATURAL POTENTIAL OF SEEDS
To meet the growing demand for food and agricultural products, innovations in agricultural technologies are urgently needed. Traditional labor-intensive seed quality assessment methods based on manual observation are outdated. Growing demands for yield stability, resource efficiency, and food quality require the application of data-driven and accurate approaches at all stages of the agricultural production chain.
May 19th, 2-3pm from Seed Treatment Project Manager Ulrike Wefers: OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY RANGING FROM FORMULATION TO PROCESSING, CONSIDERING PROCESS CONTROL AND DATA MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
The seed sector is experiencing a period of constant transformation, perhaps more than any other industry. This is driven significantly by climate change, which necessitates a fundamental shift in breeding and agronomic strategies. Furthermore, the EU's evolving regulatory landscape is forcing the industry to develop alternative solutions as conventional Plant Protection Products (PPPs) are being phased out.
With great pleasure we also live showcased our new Optical Sorter OS f X and Cleaner SL 5 Selecta at Booth 2.09
The OS f X is our newest optical sorting machine.
The team had a lot of fun in Lisbon with exciting meetings and great conversations about collaboration, the industry, and most importantly, newest innovation for the future in seed.
