The Salba® Genetic Program started in 1995, using traditional breeding techniques. Salba® is non-GMO. The application for the first variety (Sahi alba 911) was filed in 2000 and was approved the next year by the Argentinean Seed Institute, which depends on the Agricultural Secretary of the Government. A second variety, Sahi alba 912, was approved in 2002.
At present, and using seed from several individual selections we have already obtained good results in yield improvement, auto compatible plant selection, double weight seeded plant reproduction and finding day length insensitive plants. These are intermediate results aimed towards reaching our goal of expanding Salba® to new areas and establishing it as a world-wide crop. |
