Development and cultivation of locally adapted cereal populations in Hesse
The effects of climate change, which include extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns and increasing disease and pest pressures, imply great challenges for agriculture. Against this background, the protection and promotion of biodiversity are of vital importance. A hitherto less considered possibility to promote biodiversity in agriculture are the development and cultivation of heterogeneous cereal populations. Populations consist of a diversity of plants with varying appearances and characteristics and because of this diversity populations are able to react more flexible to extreme weather events. Furthermore, cereal populations have a greater yield stability and are less susceptible to disease and pest infestations. Another advantage is the adaptability of populations to local agro-climatic conditions. The following objectives are pursued by the project: Examination of the practicability of cereal populations, examination of the acceptance of the method and products, development of a marketing strategy and improvement of the method to develop cereal populations.
The results are available as part of the final report and are available for download.
