Abstract

Seed and seedlings are basis for developing plant production and agriculture in every country. The Croatian Seed Programme is continously developing from the year 1893. Development of the seed programme in Croatia through the past had its good, but also bad moments. Seed production through 110 years was enough for our own needs and for export in sourrounding countries. During some time periods, for example 1970-1990 export of corn and wheat seed was bigger than our own needs. Privatization in agriculture was negative for developing of national seed production and nowadays we have lack of good conditions for production, like they are in EU, and the result is import of seed and seedlings usually inadequate quality (e.g. GM corn seed in 2004). In this review present results and some guideline for the future are discussed.
