Hushållningssällskapet has performed high quality field trials for over 200 years. Since the start of HUSEC back in 2008 we have evolved and grown, both in the number of trials we conduct annually, but also in experienced personnel and locations where we perform field trials. HUSEC performes high-quality field trials in large parts of Scandinavia and the Baltics.

Today we conduct GEP trials and GLP-studies in both major and minor crops, accredited by SWEDAC. We have a well-defined strategy where we strive to be the best partner for our customers.

Every year during the trial season around 70-80 personnel within Hushållningssällskapet are working with HUSEC performing trials all over Sweden. We take pride in the work we during this highly intense period and feel success when we have seasonal employees coming back every year. This we believe is due to great leadership, team effort and pride in our work and is what makes the foundation of our core values here at HUSEC: competence, quality and flexibility.

In addition to our own trial stations we also have European partners, in Finland, Lattvia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. All of our partners are accredited to perform GEP trials.
Through our unique network of trial stations we perform large trial series, placing each trial in the perfect location.

The closest team within HUSEC have background and expertise from plant protection, agriculture, entomology, horticulture and plant science (enabling us to stand on multiple legs).

About us & our trials

High quality GEP and GLP trials in the Northern zone.

Hushållningssällskapet has performed high-quality trials for over 200 years. Our history stretches back more than 230 years to 1791, when Sweden’s first Hushållningssällskap was established on Gotland.

Since the start of HUSEC back in 2008, we have evolved and grown, both in the number of trials we conduct annually and in experienced personnel and locations where we perform field trials. HUSEC performs high-quality GEP trials and GLP studies in both major and minor crops in large parts of Scandinavia and the Baltics, with accreditation from SWEDAC.

Our unique network of trial stations enables us to carry out field trials in all crops suitable for our environment, in outdoor fields, forests and greenhouses. This includes evaluation of the results and reporting.

Seed cover treatments

Frötec is our laboratory/facility where we implement seed treatments for trial purposes. It has been running since 2012 at our trial station Borgeby in Scania. The name Frötec roughly translates to seed technology. Here we perform coating treatments on all kinds of seeds. Our high-end equipment is able to perform these treatments on just a few seeds or on larger batches of up to 500 kg. Beyond this we also provide services such as weighing, packing and shipping of the now coated seeds to your HUSEC trials in Sweden.
