Although they recognized the vaue of professional genetic improvement, they questioned the commodification of seeds and knowledge, which were captured by concentrated companies. As a result, the trade of farmer-breeders was lost, relegating farmers to mere consumers &#8220;like someone who asks for a delivery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They commented that they are facing an industrialized improvement system that responds to a simplified production system and therefore there is an agricultural sector whose demand is not satisfied; Criteria such as crop resilience are dismissed in the search for yield maximization. In this sense, they highlighted the importance for unconventional productions that evaluations are not only carried out under controlled conditions but also under farmer field conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They claimed the aesthetic value of heterogeneity, diversity and the role of farmers when making selection and improvement, guided by an emotional base that goes beyond the search for economic profitability, and recognizing themselves as beings capable of co-creating with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_121110306-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1182\" height=\"1629\" data-id=\"3043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210.jpeg 1182w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210-218x300.jpeg 218w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210-743x1024.jpeg 743w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210-768x1058.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210-1115x1536.jpeg 1115w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_142334-scaled-e1654540009210-9x12.jpeg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1182px) 100vw, 1182px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"3048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-1024x472.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-1024x472.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-300x138.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-768x354.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-1536x708.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-2048x944.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220517_160837-1-18x8.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then a field trip was made, in which the Choique and Candelaria varieties were observed, inbred lines that derive from the latter, as well as different hybrids. Luciana Galizia and Daniel Presello, INTA Pergamino researchers, commented on how they direct pollination by enveloping the spikes and panicles in order to obtain and multiply these materials. Different selection criteria were also discussed and a selection practice was carried out in the field. Open-pollinated varieties of sweet corn and planophilous hybrids for organic agriculture were observed. Then the block of comparative performance tests was run. Among the genotypes that INTA evaluated is the Original Plus variety bred by our mate Enrico Cresta, which has had an outstanding performance. Finally, the evaluation block was observed at high densities and where the importance of said practice was shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3042\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC07302-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The face-to-face meeting recharged us all with energy to continue working together.
