The Archeobotany team of the GIAP, led by researcher Alexandra Livarda<\/a>, has started a new phase of experimental cereal cultivation in Greece!<\/h6>\n

The new experimental crop is located in Thermi, near Thessaloniki (Greece), at the facilities of the Hellenic Agricultural Organization -DEMETER<\/a>, and follows the experimental research line developed in previous projects. It is part of the new R&D project DarkAegean<\/a>, led by Livarda<\/a> in collaboration with agronomers Dr. Ioannis Mylonas (Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources, IPBGR<\/a>) and Elisa Ninou (International Hellenic University<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This new season of cultivation is experimenting with wheat, and in particular with free-thresing wheat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In December 2023 the team successfully sowed 7 landraces of bread and 7 landraces of macaroni wheat from across the Aegean, as well as a commercial wheat cultivar for control. Each landrace is being cultivated under three different levels of manuring and two levels of irrigation in three replications.<\/p>\n

The plants are being monitored and we are hoping for good weather and a successful harvest in the summer!<\/p>\n

The harvested seeds will be eventually used to measure their 3D morphology towards the development of a new tool that will allow investigation of agriculture in the past, applying the results of the experimental grown grains to archaeological material.<\/p>\n
