General introduction
that determined the horticultural and phytochemical trait performance
of broccoli cultivars grown under organic and conventional management
systems, we synthesise and discuss our results in terms of the following ive
propositions: (1) Regulatory clarity is the foundation for organic seed sector
development, (2) Organic management systems inluence horticultural
and phytochemical trait performance, (3) A crop ideotype can serve as a
communication tool to arrive at an appropriate variety assortment, (4) Genetic
variation is a requirement to develop optimized cultivars, and (5) Multiple
seed system models contribute to organic sector growth.
