    Planting seed propagations

    In addition to the ongoing trials, our test field also contains a large number of seed propagations. On the one hand, basic grass seeds are harvested here for commercial grassland as well as for high-altitude and embankment greening, and on the other hand, a large number of now rare herbs are propagated for extensively used meadows and flowering mixtures.

    The competitive grasses are usually sown over a large area with very low seed rates, while species with weak competition are either sown in rows or brought forward in a polytunnel and planted out individually by hand. This ensures that every plant has enough space and can develop optimally. The propagation areas not only produce the desired seeds, but the colorful flowering areas provide important food for insects and are also a real feast for the eyes for our employees and visitors.
