Enhancing Native Plant Stock Seed Increase Process for Conservation Efforts

Explore the seed increase process for native plants, involving more growers and utilizing genetic tracking programs. This initiative aims to expand species lists and provide funding through official seed certifying agencies for the conservation of bitterbrush, firecracker penstemon, and squirreltail plants. Researchers collect and document seed species accessions, decide on the accessions to use, and distribute seeds to growers for production fields. Cultural practices and seed harvesting are monitored to ensure quality. Additionally, the flow chart outlines the distribution and sale of seeds, providing insights into the market value and research costs involved.
