Organic vegetable seed; Perspectives

Posmatrajući celokupnu svetsku proizvodnju povrća, dominira konvencionalni koncept gajenja, koji je opterećen upotrebom pesticida. Upotreba pesticida direktno ugrožava zdravlje ljudi kao i životnu sredinu. Alternativu predstavlja koncept organske proizvodnje biljaka. Njen glavni nedostatak je cena. Međutim, danas postoji trend povećanja potražnje za organskom hranom. U Srbiji 0,44% obradivih površina je pod organskom proizvodnjom, što je nedovoljno. Pored troškova proizvodnje, kao razlog navodi se i nedostatak organski sertifikovanog semena povrća. Na osnovu analize organske proizvodnje semena cvekle, mrkve, rotkvice, pasulja, salate i tikvica može se zaključiti da su ove proizvodnje ekonomski opravdane.Analyzing at the world production of vegetables is dominated by the conventional concept of cultivation which is burdened by the use of pesticides. The use of pesticides directly negatively affect to human health and the environment. An alternative is the concept of organic production. Its main disadvantage is the price. However, there is a trend of increasing demand for organic food today. In Serbia, 0.44% of arable land is under organic production, which is insufficient. The reason is also the lack of organically certified vegetable seed. According to the analysis of organic production of seeds of beetroot, carrots, radish, beans, salads and zucchini, it can be concluded that these production is economically justified
