Climsostrigo is a project aimed at contributing to innovation in plant material for adaptation to climate change and improving the sustainability of soft wheat production.

Semillas Batlle participates as an active member of CLIMSOSTRIGO.

The General Objective of the project is to contribute to the adaptation to climate change and to the sustainability of soft wheat crop productions, through the incorporation of new genetic material.

And the specific objectives are:

1. Determine common winter and spring wheat varieties that can adapt to the new requirements of climate change.
2. Identify the soft wheat plant material with the best agronomic performance in low-input and more sustainable production systems.
3. Establish sustainability indicators to determine the suitability of the new soft wheat varieties in the face of climate change and in more sustainable production systems.
4. Establish and show the production sector strategies with the incorporation of soft wheat varieties that allow better adaptation to climate change and greater sustainability of production.
5. To transfer and disseminate the results.

Semillas Batlle is one of the driving forces behind ResOrMa

The ResOrMa Operational Group “Improving the Resilience of Barley and Malt to Heat Shocks and Pre-harvest Sprouting” is a research and dissemination initiative of the companies Maltería La Moravia (Damm Group), Semillas Batlle, and CUPASA, together with the Crop Physiology Research Group of AGROTECNIO, which also coordinates the Operational Group, and is financed by the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Generalitat de Catalunya and by the companies themselves.

The objective of ResOrMa is to improve the resilience of barley and malt to these little studied but very relevant and more frequent phenomena due to the effects of climate change. To this end, the Task Force seeks to generate knowledge and innovations to develop solutions to increase barley crop resistance to heat stress and pre-harvest sprouting, which negatively affect grain yield and quality and, consequently, malt and beer production.

Semillas Batlle has a long history of collaborations and research projects with the main institutes in the country (CSIC, IRTA, ITACYL, CITA, ÍNTIA, IFAPA, CICITEX, etc.), which has allowed it to continuously improve its R&D, in addition to incorporating new varieties to its catalog. The aim of this project is to identify and select the best malting varieties adapted to heat stress and ear germination at the end of the crop.

Action of the Strategic Plan of the PEC 2023-2027 co-financed by:

Semillas Batlle participates in ALFALSCAT to optimize alfalfa seed production in the Ebro Valley, focusing on: Sowing density, Forage cutting timing, Seed harvest timing.

In addition, it participates with all its genetic material in 2 trials carried out to quantify forage and nutritional value.

Project funded through Operation 16.01.01 of Cooperation for Innovation of the Rural Development Program of Catalonia 2014-2020”
