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.
A naturalist and former CEN employee, Thibaut already gleans herbaceous seeds around the farm on which he is launching his agricultural project. He wants to diversify his activity and produce wild seeds. He will plant these crops in the middle of the rows of fruit trees and vines.
