Abstract
Seed production at the PP Orahovica was variating in last 20 – 30 years from 500 until 1,500 ha, and nowadays is organized on about 800 ha per year. Before 20 – 30 years seed production was based on 10 species and nowadays is based on four species: wheat, barley, corn and soybean, and occasionally oat and triticale. Seed production of wheat is going on about 400 ha, and average yield is 5.5 t/ha. Corn seed production is going on about 130 ha and average yields are 2.7 t/ha conditioned seed. We are known as a soybean seed producers, and we have about 130 ha of seed crops with 2.5 t/ha as an average yield of quality conditioned seed of cultivar Dora. Seed production of barley is going on about 40 ha per year and average yield is 5.5 t/ha. Average year production of seed is around 3,100 t. Except for our own needs more than half of produced seed is sold. Choosing of cultivars is based on experiments and market demands. All produced seed is conditioned in our own conditioning capacity.
