Gewinnung von Basissaatgut für die produktionsintegrierte Förderung seltener und gefährdeter Ackerwildkräuter

Re-introduction and integrated conservation of rare arable plants is one approach to restore agro-biodiversity. Our study investigated occurrence and population size of rare arable plant species on 94 fields in Bavaria. 50 threatened species could be found with populations >100 individuals. This enabled an initial collection of seeds which will be propagated and sown in extensively managed fields
