These properties are essentially determined by the varieties contained in seed mixtures for reseeding and new sowing. Due to the peculiarities of the inner Alpine climate, the varieties bred and propagated domestically have an outstanding value, which is impressively confirmed by the national variety value tests. It is therefore of utmost importance to ensure or maintain sufficient production and supply of these species/varieties to the seed market and to improve the economic viability of seed production.

An increase in the economic efficiency of production, be it through higher yields, improvements in efficiency or cost reductions, will result in the attractiveness of these crops and a renewed increase in interest from technically qualified farmers. In order to integrate modern seed technology, efficient weed control and state-of-the-art production, harvesting and cleaning technology into the production processes of the individual species/varieties, extensive testing and adequate support of the propagators to improve individual production processes are urgently necessary. In addition, improved, more economical production systems for the production of organic seeds must also be developed. Here, due to a lack of sufficient economic viability, a rapidly increasing demand is offset by a negligible supply of Austrian varieties.
