Organic seed production in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Good-quality seeds are necessary for a good-quality and strong crop stand to be established. Certified seeds guarantee the elementary seed quality. Analysing the certified seeds that were collected from various Czech farmers and farms, we have not identified any serious problems. All the seeds meet the requirements of the Act No. 219/2003 Coll. Offer of the certified organic seeds is very low on the market. We have verified such a fact by our research. Only 10% of a demand for the certified organic seeds were satisfied between 2011 and 2013. Most of the seeds were conventional untreated (57%) and farm seeds (33%). Since 1990 when the organic farming started to develop, the issue of certified organic seed production and offer has been discussed in the Czech Republic. The problem has not been solved yet. Farmers have been using and exchanging their own material or they buy conventional untreated seeds.
