Nickerson is the international name for the arable crops business of Group Limagrain, the largest plant breeding and seed development company in the E.U.

The Nickerson brand operates principally in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain, and Nickerson varieties are available through our international agents in many other countries all around the world, from Scandinavia to Australasia.

Best known for our varieties of cereals, Nickerson is also active and successful in the breeding and introduction of other crop species, including Oilseed Rape, Linseed, Peas, Field Beans, and Sugar Beet. In addition, forage and amenity grasses, maize, fodder crops and game cover mixtures are bred, produced and marketed under the Advanta brand.

We also have a close relationship with Nickerson Direct, the only UK-based specialist sales force supplying seed directly from breeder to farmer.
