Züchterische Weiterentwicklung samenfester Brokkolisorten für den Ökolandbau hinsichtlich agronomischer wie sensorischer Merkmale

Summary

Starting from identified breeding populations of broccoli, new open-pollinated broccoli varieties (OP varieties) are to be developed by means of two intensive individual selection steps with progeny testing in an on-farm approach. These new varieties are to meet the demands of organic vegetable production. To achieve this, agronomic characteristics such as yield stability, uniformity, short harvesting period, sufficient firmness of the head are sought after, coupled with good sensory characteristics and high amounts of bioactive substances beneficial to health and excellent taste.
