The Operational Group project aims to provide species-rich wildflower mixtures with regional typical composition and local origin for use in agriculture and structural land management. Currently, standard mixtures are offered that are not organically propagated. This is where the REGIO-SAAT project comes in: The OG REGIO-SAAT intends to propagate wildflowers locally and ecologically in multiple generation sequence (organically and local produced flower mixtures.). A genetic differentiation and local adaptation should be the result of this development process. In the long term, the project expects site-robust and climatically adaptable seeds with the high growth potential in its region. In addition, the cooperation looks at the interactions between cultivated and native wild plants. Wildflower mixtures have a positive effect on beneficial insects as well as a phytosanitary effect on the soil. Accordingly, they can promote crop health, yield stability and quality, and have a notable impact on the sustainability of good agricultural practice.
