Does organic
production affect the quality of the seed?
The answer is NO !
There are organic growers
who produce
superior quality seed and others who produce poor quality
seed, the same as with conventional seed growers.
If the
environmental conditions are suitable for seed production, the
initial quality of the seed depends mainly on the grower who
knows how to optimize and control his crop, including soil
preparation, optimal planting period, plant nutrition and
irrigation, pest control and plant protection, pollination,
varietal purity, uniformity, maturation, harvesting methods
and storage conditions.
All the
specific information related to every stage of the production
is available to all our growers, but it is up to each
individual grower to
best utilize this information. These are some of the factors
that can affect the initial quality of the seed, whether the
production is organic or conventional. |
