Production of vegetables and ornamental plants

Organic production of vegetables and ornamental plants is usually highly specialized and therefore prone to problems. Nutrient and energy cycles as well the self-regulation of agricultural systems must be improved.

  • Vegetable producers should achieve more self-sufficiency in nutrients through the improved utilization of green manures in the production process.
  • Variety recommendations for organically propagated vegetable seeds and a well functioning implementation of regulations on organic seed.
  • Further rationalization of production techniques.
  • Recommendations for the use of mycorrhizae in organic horticulture.
  • Development of the organic production of ornamental plants.
