We want to share this fascination of plants and make it visible! To this end, the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO) initiated the international "Fascination of Plants Day" for the 7th time. Plant scientists around the world are organising various events under this motto to get as many people as possible excited about plants and thus draw their attention to the importance of plant science for agriculture and the sustainable production of food. Scientists at KWS live their fascination for plants every day. This fascination enables them to understand and optimise plants a little better every day. Through varieties with relevant characteristics such as improved drought tolerance and reduced need for pesticides, we create solutions and support agriculture in successfully facing the challenges of the coming years. This year, we shared this enthusiasm with children and young people in particular at various events at the Einbeck site. Young people with a "fascination for plants" are the scientists of tomorrow!

KWS acknowledges the outcome of today’s vote of the European Parliament (EP) on the Plant Reproductive Material (PRM) proposal. From the company’s perspective the text approved by the Members of the European Parliament puts at risk the well proven pillars of the PRM legislation, that ensured the delivery of high-quality input for all farmers, growers and all users, thus opening for certain material to be exempted by the scope of the legislation and in the future.
