How New Plant Breeding Helps You and the Community

Breeding plants to create new varieties is more than just a hobby. It can bring immense satisfaction to the gardener or horticulturist. Anyone happening to create a new and distinct variety of flowers, herbs, vegetables, shrubs etc. can name it and have it licensed. This will not only make them known among horticulturists, but will also help them make a profit through selling the newly created type.

If the plant variety you worked on has an esthetic value, it can become popular on the market. People are always searching for something new to grow in their garden and beautify them. Your creation could find its place in home gardens or recreational grounds.

On the other hand, if your breeding process is focused on improving vegetables, cereals etc., then it will benefit the community in different ways. For example, a gardener improves a certain type of vegetable by making it more resistant to pests and able to thrive in a given climate. This improves the yields as well. The agricultural sector will then be interested in this new variety and may want to replace old plant types with the new and better one.

Plant breeding can enrich lives and improve the standard of living in wonderful ways. To get there, it is essential to know how to facilitate breeding. To ensure the much needed stability of the variety, one may go to a private nursery or, should they own one, invite the expert to see it. With the experts' guidance, gardeners can also work with local schools or kindergartens and other community groups to setup educational projects.

Children for example can learn about growing plants by cultivating in small gardens and adults can learn about the benefits of organic green food by trying these themselves. Through a Nuevosol plant kind of experiment, people can be seduced by “bio' gardens with edible plants. The Nuevosol concept is connected to organic gardens and home raised food. It comes with a solid educational potential. Should such activities be organized, the participating individuals will learn at the same time how to have an esthetically pleasing garden, too.
