Danish crop breeding and seed production very fruitful, enjoy a high reputation in the world.To this end, I went to Denmark in 1987 to study for six months, now I understand the situation as a INTRODUCTION 1. Breeding Institutions In addition to state funding by the Agricultural University, national laboratories and specialized laboratories, Denmark is the only country funded by the State, and the rest of the breeding institutions are private companies that each have their own unique and specialized crop breeding. Ltd is principally engaged in the breeding of forage crops (fodder, fodder beet) and rapeseed.
