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.
