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.

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.

Frötec

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.

Trialstations and Partners

Sweden, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania.

We have seven Swedish co-operators with trial stations on 10 different locations. We perform GEP trials, and GLP studies, in the agricultural areas of Sweden, from Scania (south) to Uppsala county (north). Our partners outside of Sweden is located in Finland, Latvia and Lithuania. 

Our trial stations across Sweden give us access to a wide range of climatic conditions, soil types, crops and specialist expertise. From the mild agricultural regions of southern Sweden and the unique conditions of the Baltic islands to the grass ley areas of western Sweden and the cereal-growing regions further north with cold weather conditions, we can select trial locations that match the specific requirements of each study.

This geographical variation is an important part of our trial capacity. It enables us to work with different crops, target organisms and growing conditions and to find suitable locations for both widely grown and more specialized crops.

Together, our trial stations provide much more than geographical coverage. Their differences in soil, climate, crops, irrigation possibilities, farming systems and specialist expertise allow us to identify a trial environment suited to the purpose of each study.

Whether the requirement is for potato under irrigated conditions, difficult weeds in cereals, winter hardiness, grassland, horticultural crops or trials under distinctive soil and climatic conditions, our network gives us the flexibility to find the right location and expertise.

Accreditation

We are accredited for GEP trials and approved to perform GLP studies within the crop protection area by Swedac, the Swedish Accreditation Authority.
