About Us

SEMO a.s. is a Czech company that was founded in 1994. With its formation, SEMO continued more than 70 years of tradition in plant breeding connected with the former Vegetable Breeding Station. Now SEMO is acknowledged as a leader in the breeding of vegetable crops in Europe. We concentrate mainly on fruit vegetables (especially tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers), green peas, lettuce, onions and root crops. Our varieties are known in many countries and our customer base is increasing every year. In 2017 we acquired the Slovak breeding company Zelseed. The best sweet corn hybrids from its program are now in our catalog. In addition to sweet corn we also have a strong assortment of grain, silage and CCM varieties of corn.
