Definition of the problem: Search for methods and products that are compatible with the standards of organic agriculture in order to improve seed health. Project aims including target group: Improvements and adjustments for the various vegetable seeds. For farmers, seed multipliers and breeders. Methodology: Literature studies, laboratory experiments, on farm trials Results, conclusion, state of the art: Physical seed treatments are most promising, several plant extracts seem to be useful, however, fine tuning of the methods fro various vegetable seeds is necessary.
