Summary
With the goal to increase organically managed farmland to 25% by 2030 together with the upcoming requirement to use exclusively organic seeds for organic farming, more seeds produced under organic conditions are needed on the market. Seed production underorganic conditions is even more challenging than in conventional production systems, mainly due to the restricted access to regular products for fertilization and plant protection. To increase the number of healthy seeds, we tested different agronomic factors which could influence the number of seeds produced in several organic farms in Europe and provide recommendations on relevant factors in these guidelines.
