breeding 2 seasons per year
A few questions for the more experienced breeders: if you want to increase the speed of your breeding programme, can you do a cultivation in summer outside and winter in heated greenhouse? and thus capture 2 seasons in a year?
The thing I am most interested in is whether selection in the greenhouse will have undesired side effects: such as unintentionally selecting for different temperature tolerance. I know from the Netherlands that they do winter cultivation with lights and heat and it never reaches the quality of the summer crop, but does it influence selection significantly? I am located at latitude 39,9248, which might have an influence on winter sun hours. Does anyone here do winter cultivations in a greenhouse for their breeding? |
