Deadlines

Tystofte Foundation has set the following deadlines for receiving samples for control cultivation.

The following deadlines apply for the receipt of samples for control cultivation at TystofteFonden. Samples received after the deadline will not be sown.

Samples for control cultures should be submitted as soon as possible after sampling.

Spring cereals and other spring-sown species1st May
Grasses and grassland legumes1 June

Seed certification
Teglværksvej 10
4230 Skælskør
Mrk.: “Kontrolmark”

OBS:

Westerwoldian ryegrass is submitted as a starting point in the autumn for assessment the following year. This means that the submission deadline is 1 September. Alternatively, Westerwoldian ryegrass can be sown in the spring for assessment in the same year. In this case, TystofteFonden's control field must be contacted regarding the specific lot(s), and the submission deadline for samples is then 1 May.

OBS:

From 2021 it will be laid out Hedgehog and hop-cone pod simultaneously with the grazing, for assessment the following year. We conducted trials with this cultivation method in the 2019/2020 season, and assessed that it results in better plots, and thus a better assessment. If this causes problems with control cultivation certificates in the first year, please contact us and we will find a solution.

The deadline for submission remains 1 June.
