THEMATIC
To know seed production bases and being able to produce own seeds by natural methods.
To know the basics of seed production to achieve a seed garden without hybridization (with and without material).
Participate in the renewal of evolving biodiversity that is more resistant to hazards and diseases.
GOALS :
Know the law and regulations on seeds.
Study and understanding of the modes of reproduction of plants: from sowing to seed.
The different families and classification: species and inter-fertility (pollination).
Selection criteria: the seed carrier, planting distances, genetic homogeneity.
Diseases and Parasites.
The equipment, the logbook, the storage.
Example of a typical seed garden.
Monitoring and assessment of individual projects.
Practical interventions.
Seed harvest: degree of maturity, drying, different seed extraction techniques, conservation.
