Main objective of the workshop
Allow participants to better understand the physiological processes in the seed during the stages of maturation, drying and storage and stimulate reflection on practical/technical solutions to improve and maintain seed quality.
Short description of the workshop
The workshop will be divided into three parts:
- Introduction: sharing information from the Liveseeding seminar on seed quality at Wageningen University in April 2023 led by Steven Groot (PPP)
- Feedback from participants about the relevance of the topic: collecting questions and comments
- Exchange between participants: collecting information about best practices applied by practitioners present / resolutions for the future
The introduction will cover the following topics:
- The physiological processes in the seed during the pre-harvest late maturation phase, the process of drying and the period of storage,
- Pragmatic solutions to improve and maintain seed quality that do not necessarily require expensive hi-tech equipment and are thus accessible to small and medium sized enterprises.
