Purpose of the experimentation
Experiment the production of wild flowers seeds according to the Vegetal Local label requirements.
The aim is to collect data concerning the production of 26 Mediterranean species among a group of 7 producers with various profiles. Information on the plants behavior and the plot management will be gathered in tables in order to improve the knowledge on the multiplication of these species. The final goal is to produce a proportion of these 26 species in larger plots.
David and his colleague Fanny have various production and are coordinators of a social integration support association. A lot of people are working in the vegetable productions and some of them are really interested in wild flowers and insects. Moreover, David is looking for a mixes of herbaceous wild species to install the walking space. He wants to produce his own seeds.
