How to improve organic seed production for carrots and cauliflower

The production of organic vegetable seed is under high pest and disease pressure and there is a lack of effective methods for control. This regularly leads to complete yield failure of the seed crop or low germination rates and thus higher seed prices. In this practice abstract, we focus on carrots and cauliflowers. In order to mitigate the above laid out challenges in organic seed multiplication, especially for biennial crops like carrot and cauliflower, there is a need to invest further into research for pest and disease management in organic seed production systems. However, some practical solutions are listed below.
