Autumn is approaching rapidly and Direct Seeding of kelp is about to start soon. Clients will receive their seedlings either on twine or as Direct Seeding material. The team of Hortimare has not only prepared for the deliveries but also has drawn up breeding and test line programs that are about to be rolled out soon.
These programs are being executed in close collaboration with seaweed farmers, industry partners and knowledge institutes globally and Hortimare is excited to deploy based on recent research results obtained on:

- new substrates
- a newly built seeding machine
- improved induction processes
- revised protocols
The results of these intensive trials will be forming the basis for standardisation of cultivating kelp species. Josh Masel is looking forward to telling you all about it during his presentation on Seagriculture 2021.
In addition to the kelp species, the research on red seaweeds will be intensified at Hortimare based on the growing market demand. In that light, Hortimare is proud to announce that Philip Kerrison has recently joined the team in order to focus on the dedicated research of the red seaweeds.
