Reference:
State Stende Cereals Breeding Institute has experience in cereal breeding for already many years. Already in 1923 Stende started assessment of oat, rye, wheat, barley, and pea varieties and elimination of the best local populations. In 1929/1930 breeders Janis Lielmanis, Emils Berzins, and Jurijs Garbars registered first varieties, achieved with elimination method. It was varieties ‘Stende’, winter wheat varieties ‘Viestura’, and 'Zemgale', oat variety ‘Stendes mazas agras’ (‘Stende small early’), and barley variety 'Dzintara’.
During ninety years of its work Stende CBI performed breeding work with more than 20 crop species, as well as registered 65 varieties.
