  1. Hortivar is a geo-referenced database on performances of horticulture cultivars and a platform for horticulture knowledge management and exchange. Save and Grow - Sustainable Crop Production Intensification Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations GCP/INT/697/BEL www.fao.org/hortivar hortivar@fao.org

  2. HORTIVAR relates to 6 groups of crops: • Vegetables • Fruits • Roots and tubers • Mushrooms • Herbs and condiments • Ornamentals

  3. Origin and justification FAO and horticulture research and development centres have piled up a considerable amount of technical information with uneasy to access and share.

  4. HORTIVAR–a tool for knowledge management • A standard methodology for data collection and record keeping on the performances of horticulture cultivars • A powerful search engine for easy retrieval and comparison of information, e.g.: search by: crop, cultivar, country, planting season, organic, soilless, greenhouse production • A standard template for educational purpose - “A” to “Z” of a crop cycle including all field practices • Gateway to horticulture knowledge and statistics, e.g.:

  5. HORTIVAR– information available: - production data - seed sources - standard cultivar descriptions - photos of cultivars - experts on specific crop, subject - nutrient composition data - climate data per location

  6. Why to use HORTIVAR ? • Safeguard information on performances of horticulture cultivars and answer questions relating to cultivars • Monitor production data season by season • Compare data between ecozones, production systems and locations • Use as a lively interface between scientists, growers and institutions – search pool of experts in horticulture • facilitate access to useful and selective links to sites and other horticulture related databases and expert systems

  7. Who is using Hortivar? • Growers & consumers • Horticulture scientists, institutions and nutrition specialists • Extension officers, consultants • Seed/plant material producers, traders and marketing business men • Teachers and students
