The laboratory is accredited by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and all tests are done in accordance to the ISTA rules. VKB’s test laboratory also has extended seed collections which were collected over the past five years and include agronomical and horticultural grasses and weeds.
VKB has agreements in place with various seed companies. The main focus remains to deliver an excellent service to farmers.
