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.
Yoachim had decided to plant wildflowers between these rows of lavender, oregano and savory. He had tried several species (during SUDOE Fleurs Locales project) and decided to keep only one that had worked very well in his area: verbena sage. In particular, he would like to try harvesting it mechanically.
