Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
LIST is interested in joining a consortium under the AGROECOLOGY 3rd Co-funded Call as a breeding and genetic resources partner, focusing on the identification, evaluation and mobilisation of drought-tolerant local germplasm, followed by breeding, testing and registration of new climate-resilient varieties.
We can contribute to:
Collection, conservation and characterisation of local seed materials for farming and under-utilised crops with high drought and heat tolerance.
Breeding for multi-stress resilience (drought/heat) and stable performance across diverse environments, including farmer-relevant traits.
Multi-location field trials, phenotyping and data generation to support evidence-based variety selection.
Support to variety release and market uptake: preparation of technical documentation and coordination of registration steps and seed multiplication in plan.
We are open to participatory and co-designed breeding programmes with farmers, research organisations and value-chain players, and to piloting new varieties in agroecological cropping systems to reduce external inputs and improve resilience.
The main areas of activity of “Company LIST” LLC are providing agricultural producers with high-quality seed material of their own selection.
Our company has extensive experience in this field of agriculture acquired over 30 years of its existence. We have established ourselves on the agricultural market as a reliable, decent, serious business partner, as evidenced by the trust of our customers in various regions of Ukraine. Our products have been extensively tested in various climate zones and have received positive feedback from farmers.
Our research and production enterprise has its own varieties of winter wheat registered in the Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine: LIST-25, Palyanitsa, Zlatoglava, Balagura, Makarovka, Smaragd; winter barley: Winner; spring barley: Garant Premium; Mustang oats; sunflower hybrids: Commander, Suliko, Euro, Cross, Carbon, Kremin, Thanos. “Company LIST” LLC annually confirms the status of a seed enterprise for the cultivation of pre-basic, basic and certified seeds, which is registered in the Register of producers of seeds and planting material.
Our breeders have created several varieties of winter and spring cereals with their original characteristics and properties. Yes, we were one of the first to establish the superiority of semi-dwarf varieties of winter wheat and began to intensively introduce them into production. The result was the rapid spread across Ukraine of List 25 and Palyanitsa varieties, which are more flexible in terms of yield and at the same time have good drought resistance in the south.
We are also known and highly valued outside of Ukraine. In particular, in Turkey, the Zlatoglava wheat variety deservedly took one of the first places among our partners. Due to its high drought and heat resistance, this variety took the first place among local, European varieties, and at the same time, under irrigation conditions in Turkey, it showed a yield of more than 90 t/ha, leaving behind all other varieties grown on the farm.
Sunflower is one of the main crops in our selection work. At the dawn of our selection work, a lot of effort and time was invested in creating the very first Derkul and Donbas hybrids, which are classic hybrids for the traditional cultivation system. Undemanding to cultivation technology, high drought resistance, the possibility of maneuvering with sowing dates (until June 20) due to early ripening contributed to their wide distribution in the southeastern region.
