Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
We would like to connect or to contribute the team working on biostimulants development. We have experience on biostimulants formulation, greenhouse and field trials.
Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (LAMMC) conducts breeding programmes for major field and garden crops. More than 490 varieties of field, orchard and garden crops have been developed in the branches of the Centre since the beginning of plant breeding in Lithuania (1922). Many of them are successfully grown in Lithuania, neighbouring and other countries. The developed varieties are included in the Lithuanian National List of Plant Varieties and in the EU Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species.
The Department of Plant Nutrition and Agroecology: investigates productivity, usage, cultivar potential of legumes and minor crops and introduction of new species under the climate change; adaptation and stressors; nitrogen fixation and symbiosis of microorganisms with plants; Soil biodiversity in an organic and agroecological systems.
