title: Saatgut Pathologie: Sicherstellung von biologischem Saat- und Pflanzgut: Verbesserung der Saat- und Pflanzgutgesundheit im Biogemüsebau  
subject:  Breeding, genetics and propagation
description: State of the Art:  Organically acceptable seed treatments are partly available, but they need improvements and adjustments for the various vegetable seeds.  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.
