Varieties and Production Techniques

varietes-techniques-grandes-cultures

Cultivar studies of arable crops in order to identify varieties which

  • can be adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of this country
  • are resistant to diseases while preserving the environment
  • comply with the various quality criteria required by the market
  • can be efficiently and easily produced  

The scientists in charge of the cultivar study are aiming at:

  • complementing the Ordinance on Seeds and Plants (916.151.1) with other varieties to be entered into the National Catalogue
  • forming test networks and helping set up a list of varieties recommended by the trade organisations
