Performing quality and seed analyzes of ecological certified seed and propagation planting material at different
genotypes and biological categories of winter and spring crops
All the seeding material that has been used on trials and the fileds for seed production has been analyzed from quality point of view, quality indicators were needed for the calculation of
seeding rate – purity (%), germination (%), umidity, TKW (thousand kernel weight) and germination energy for forecasting the plants emerging in field.

Observations and measurements on the growth and development of winter crops as well as competition
with weeds, pathogens and insect pests

Throughout the years of the project, the main problem has been the weeds. The problem weeds are both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous:
green foxtail (Setaria viridis), Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), thistle (Cirsium arvense) , common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia),
cocklebur (Xanthium spp. ) and wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus).
In recent years, climate change has significantly influenced the dynamics of the main pests of plants grown in the field of the Research,
Innovation and Technical Assistance Centre for Ecological Agriculture as well as the manifestation of their attack.
 
Priority must be given to the monitoring of invasive pests present in recent years on the territory of Romania, including in the western part of
Calarasi County, such as Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula tomatoes, which can cause great harvest damage, including corn or soybean
crops.

In 2016 we organized several working visits in the experimental fields of ecological seed production in Fundulea for farmers and members of the Romanian Association for Sustainable
Agriculture (ARAD), on the occasion of AgriPlanta and the Wheat Day organized by INCDA Fundulea. Also, project team members have several scientific and practical events such as:
- the symposium organized by ARDS Şimnic on 20.05.2016, including the visit to the field of organic agriculture from ARDS Şimnic;
- the "Rice Day" symposium, organized in Slobozia on 04.10. 2016 by CCIA Ialomita and at the BIOTERRA General Assembly in Cluj-Napoca dated 22.10.2016, where we presented the
communication "Seed Production in Ecological System - Specialties and Scientific and Technological News".
In 2017 we organized several working visits in the experimental fields of ecological seed production at Fundulea:
- a study visit of 21 students and teachers from the "Valentin" School of Agriculture in Lyon / France on March 27, 2017 and 41 students and teachers from the Faculty of Natural
Sciences of Ovidius University, Constanţa on 19.05.2017;
Also participated in other events such as:
- Profit.ro forum "Access to finance and new technologies - The chance of the Romanian farmer;
- "Better Profits in ECO" conference at EXPO AGRIPLANTA 2017
- The symposium "Contributions of agronomic research on management of the water crisis threatening agriculture", organized by ARDS Braila on 16.06.2017.
- the "Rice Day" symposium, organized in Slobozia on 21.09. 2017 of CCIA Ialomiţa, where we presented the Rotation communication on the cultivated rice in ecological system;
- The "ECO-INT" Natural Taste Fair and Conference organized by the Moldova Branch of the Romanian Association for Sustainable Agriculture and the Bacau Exhibition and Business
Center;
- the BIOTERRA association conference in Cluj-Napoca from 28.10.2017, where we presented the scientific communication "Organic seed production";
In 2018 we organized several working visits in the experimental fields of ecological seed production at Fundulea:
- Documentation visit of 15 students accompanied by two teachers from the "Belur" agricultural college of Lyon / France on 26.04.2018

Harvesting winter and spring crops and conditioning and storage of seeds and propagation planting material

Within this activity, the most difficult was the conditioning of the harvested seeds, due to
the heavy infestation with weed seeds, some of them with the same shape and weight like
the seed of the crop plant. In order to obtain a very clean seed, according to the standards of
ecological farming, for example, in wheat, we were forced to use all possible methods to
obtain a quality seed - manual sifting after harvesting, conditioning with the aerodynamic
selector, and small samples with the MLN selector.

European ecological seed databases using the organicXseeds platform:

• National • Farmer In order to be useful, the organic seed database needs to be streamlined
