UE 12 : Conventional and organic production and seed technology

  • Niveau d'étude

    BAC +5 / master

  • ECTS

    4 crédits

  • Composante

    Faculté des sciences

Objectifs

Reasoning for the production of seeds and clonal plants:
—  Overview on conservative selection
—  Regulations and quality approach: regulatory framework for the production, testing and distribution of seeds, transplants and clonal material, quality approach and certification of propagation material for organic farming
— Management of plant propagation modes/ways: influence of modes and barriers of reproduction, influence of varietal types and modes of propagation.

Optimization of seeds and clonal material quality:
— Dry seed production: current issues in production, visits to seed producers, weed management and low-input crops (seed banks in the soil, use of agro-ecological approaches in seed-bearing plant cultivation, multiplication contracts),
—  Production of propagation material: transplants from seeds, ornamental and fruit nurseries, micro mother plants, bulbs and tubers, in vitro plants,
— Post-harvest seed operations and technologies (seed sorting, seed treatments, biology of priming biology…).
