Abstract
Using the ESCAA data from 2004‒2019, an analysis was carried out on the status of seed production of selected species of grasses and legumes in Poland in terms of the area of seed crops and their seed yield on the background of the European market. Particular attention in the analysis was paid to the dominant species in the reproductive area of varieties of this group of plants in Poland and in Europe, i.e. Lolium perenne L., Lolium multiflorum Lam., Festuca rubra L. and Trifolium pratense L. It was found that over the years, the importance of the Polish grass seed market in Europe is growing. In 2019, our country’s share in the area of certified grass seed plantations in Europe was 12%. In the years 2016‒2019, this share has increased by 56% and was next to Denmark (60%) one of the largest on the European continent. Currently, Poland ranks second in the area of seed crops of Lolium multiflorum and Festuca rubra, and in the case of Lolium perenne is one of the three leading European market countries. In legumes grown for seeds, Poland is less important in Europe, however, in the case of Trifolium pratense, it is in recent years a significant player on the seed market with a clear trend of increasing the plantations area of this species. Harvested seed yields from grasses and legumes grown for seeds in Poland are lower compared to many European countries, so increasing seed yield is a prerequisite for our country’s further expansion in this segment of the seed market in Europe.
