Simplified on-farm broccoli cultivar trial for organic systems

This document describes a simplified on-farm trial method for evaluating broccoli cultivars in organic farming systems. It uses 2–3 reference variety plots to detect and correct for soil variability and field inconsistencies, enabling reliable comparison of varieties under real-world conditions. The approach minimizes resource use and experimental complexity, making it accessible to farmers, researchers, and advisors. Repeating trials across multiple seasons enhances data reliability. Part of the Liveseed initiative, this method supports sustainable agriculture through evidence-based variety selection in organic systems.
