The effect of microorganism application on organic seed production of broccoli and cauliflower cultivars grown in Sicily

Summary in the original language of the document

The aim of the study was to assess whether the addition of trace elements and microorganisms improves seed yield and quality in organic brassica seed production. Our results indicate that, especially in marginal soils and extreme climatic conditions, the treatment with mycorrhiza and amino acids can positively affect organic seed production in brassica in organic conditions The observed differences between genotypes in seed yield and the interaction of genotypes and nutrition on TSW highlight the importance of choosing suitable cultivars under suboptimal climatic
conditions.
