Training

In connection with the adoption by the Polish Government of a draft amendment to the Seed Act, which implements the provisions of the EU Directives of 2014 from January 1, 2017, solutions will be introduced to adapt Polish provisions to the EU Directives related to seed and fruit plants. The project introduces the possibility of assessing the external features of plants by accredited qualifiers.

The Institute of Plant Breeding and Acclimatization in Bonin is a unit authorized to conduct training, ending with an exam and receiving such accreditation.
