Screening of site-adapted new edible poppy varieties in Hesse and Thuringia
Although poppy is an old crop with a long tradition, it is currently only cultivated to a limited extent. Poppy cultivation is subject to strict legal regulations that only permit the cultivation of low-morphine varieties. Of over 55 varieties listed throughout Europe, only three are currently authorised for domestic cultivation. As a result, no poppy breeding has been carried out to date, as the small area under cultivation is not worth the high cost of breeding work. Obstacles to the stabilisation and expansion of poppy cultivation are the availability of high-performance, site-adapted varieties and the provision of key data on the agronomic characteristics of available varieties. The aims of the project are to expand the range of low-morphine poppy varieties, to provide site-adapted variety material for the different climatic regions in Hesse and Thuringia and to stabilise the seed supply in Germany. In addition, a stable supply structure for certified poppy seed from organic cultivation is to be established in Hesse in order to provide a sustainable supply of seed for German cultivation and to open up diversification and new sources of income.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
