Purpose of the experimentation
Experiment the production of wild flowers seeds according to the Vegetal Local label requirements.
The aim is to collect data concerning the production of 13 Mediterranean species among a group of 7 producers with various profiles. Information on the plants behavior and the plot management will be gathered in tables in order to improve the knowledge on the multiplication of these species. The final goal is to be able to produce a proportion of these 13 species in larger plots.
Céline is a teacher at the Lycée Agricole in Gignac. We met through Jean Christophe Bartolucci, who works at the CEN in a branch of the lycée, and agreed to launch the production of three species. They will be put into production by 6 students specializing in horticulture. Over and above their educational value, they will be helping to develop this sector in the Mediterranean. They have the manpower and equipment to monitor the development of these species.
