Italian chicory and sugarloaf (Chicorium intybus var. foliosum) – development of populations and evaluation of breeding methods useful for organic horticulture
In Cooperation with Kultursaat e.V. and funded by BMELV-BÖLN.
To optimize breeding
- the inbreeding depression of selfed seed and seed derived from a population were compared,
- segregating populations were developed,
- different storage regimes over Winter were compared and
- methods to reduce the life cycle werde developed.
The project report is available.
