Project Title

Seed multiplication and development of organic cereal varieties in the federal state of Hessen

Project description

In organic farming, only a small proportion of organic varieties, i.e. varieties from organic breeding, are currently used, although they are optimally suited to organic farming and offer a number of advantages such as resistance, especially to seed-borne diseases, and better adaptation to the availability of nutrients under organic farming conditions. One possible reason for the low market penetration of organically bred varieties is the inadequately developed structures for the propagation of these varieties. The project therefore aims to improve the availability and quality of organically bred cereal seed and varieties in Hesse and beyond. This includes the fundamental reorganisation and expansion of the existing propagation structures. In addition, both the processes and quality management in seed propagation are to be improved. To this end, the establishment of a specialised operation for pre-basic and basic seed propagation on a farm was monitored and evaluated.
