LAMMC is interested to join the consortium as a partner, offering our capacity to conduct extensive field experiments with various forage crops, turf and minor grass species, and diverse soil types. We can also provide expertise in plant biodiversity conservation, including studies of vegetation ecology and the efficient utilization of genetic resources. Our team can perform experiments in developing multi-species grass mixtures for various purposes, customized to specific needs and uses. Additionally, we can share our expertise in large-scale seed multiplication, genetic resource propagation practices, and advanced utilization tools. LAMMC is particularly interested in contributing to activities focused on enhancing local seed multiplication within crop rotation systems, supporting the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices.

LAMMC is a state research institute. The Centre’s strategic objective is to conduct R&D in the fields of agronomy and forestry and the related fields of ecology and environmental sciences, biology, biophysics, botany and zoology. The Centre employs approximately 500 staff members, nearly half of whom are researchers. Research, various scientific programmes and projects are carried out at the Centre. Researchers are involved in national and international projects. The Centre conducts breeding programmes for major field and garden crops, pome, stone and berry fruit 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.
