BRIEF PRESENTATION
The Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources of Hellenic Agricultural Organization – DIMITRA through research produces and transfers knowledge for the development of plant production and the solution of current agricultural problems. The aim of the research is the conservation, evaluation and exploitation of plant genetic resources and the creation and promotion of new varieties and species with improved performance, quality and adaptability. The research is focused on Large Cultivated Plants (LCP), Deciduous trees and Acrodrya, Horticultural, Aromatic Medicinal Plants (AMP) and Autophytes of the Greek flora. The research concerns modern plant protection systems, sustainable agriculture and precision agriculture, with the aim of integrated production management and optimal utilization of inputs.
ROLE IN PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
The Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources cooperates with the Producer Social Cooperative Enterprise BIO-RIZA Quality Products from Halkidiki Mountains in oregano and mountain tea. It analyzes the data related to the batching process that is followed during the standardization of the above products and the annual production programs of the respective Producer Bodies, in order to precisely determine the products’ sampling rate. The institute also receives the samples at the laboratories, performs the appropriate analyzes and evaluates their results. In addition, it prepares the publication texts and participates in conferences-workshops for the dissemination of the results. Finally, it provides to the ANTIOXCERT website new data.
