This is the other post I did made with Eurisco screenshots (= IPK-Gatersleben database of all European seedbanks). About Kiwano.
I’ll do a more comprehensive recap later - and we’ll condense Stephane’s and I’s presentations in a pdf - but the little nugget in that one is that there is a code for landraces : it’s “300” in the SAMPSTAT column of Eurisco.
The ladies from “D’une Graine aux Autres” non profit (facebook, podcast) taught us that in a webinar 2 years ago : as they are doing modern landracing in broadacre crops mostly with an organic mindset they absolutely want not to mess around with all the traffics made with seeds since the 70s, so they only use “landraces” - all collected before that - as “ingredients” of their PEPS (they coined the acronym), before adoption by farmers.
Those who were in Antibes will remember their long process of studying the crops in the field and doing seed increase before doing any kind of mixes for known purposes. They would explain that “when you get accessions out of seedbanks you still have to study them”, in other words : data’s lacking. Nonetheless the code 300 may be interesting to some.
