How do I make a new strain? Is it best to go to countries like India, Thailand, mexico and so on, and collect land-race seeds? Then once I have that seed enter into a breeding program with them? Would I find all the phenotypes (various smells, yields, heights, colours etc etc) I need within them seeds given that I had the space to propagate them? Would I find something SPECIAL by crossing them, then when you've found that SPECIAL plant you just have to stabilise it to an IBL and it's ready to market and sell?
Can you order reliable land-race seeds on-line? If so do you have a link?
OK SO RIPPING OFF:
A-Buying beans from company A and selfing the plant A and selling the beans as 'ORIGINAL A'
B-Using company A's-plant A and crossing that with company B's-plant B and calling it plant AB which would be a unreliable product, therefore causing negative publicity and loss of profit.
So I understand that it is wrong to steal other peoples work and call it your own, but what if company A's-plant A has the purple phenotype or a lemon taste phenotype that you would like to add to your land-race breeding program, is this ripping off too?
I would love to get into the whole breeding scene but there is still a lot I need to learn before I start. I am going to do some practise projects as soon as I am in a new property with a few different sets of seeds I have, sort of a 'learn as you go' situation.
So if any one could help on this matter it would be greatly appreciated-it would be interesting to get some breeder input on this topic if they get chance to browse this thread.
Peace. REDEYE
