Nowadays, lifestyle and health consciousness are leading to an ever-increasing consumer demand for so-called “superfoods”, which are believed to provide multiple simultaneous health benefits beyond their nutritional value. In parallel, there is greater awareness regarding food origin, social and environmental impacts of consumer’s food choices. To...
Rising consumer attraction towards superfoods and the steadily increasing demand for healthy, environmentally sustainable, and regionally produced food products has sharpened the demand for chia. Over the course of 4 years, two early flowering chia varieties belonging to Salvia hispanica L., and Salvia columbariae Benth. Species were identified to...

To obtain high chia seed yields and seed qualities, a suitable crop management system needs to be developed for the given growing conditions in southwestern Germany. Field experiments were conducted at the experimental station Ihinger Hof in two consecutive years (2016, 2017). The study aimed to evaluate yield and quality traits of chia depending o...

The combination of consumer’s ongoing demand for chia (Salvia hispanica L.) alongside the increased demand for regionally produced food products provided the impetus for this study. Its aim was to test if a regional cultivation of new chia genotypes, which were adapted to day lengths greater than 12 hours, is feasible under Central European conditi...
Breeding approaches generated new long- day flowering chia genotypes, which were adapted to day length > 12 h. In this regard, a new white seeded tetraploid genotype was cultivated for the first time under Central European conditions in Germany, at the experimental station Ihinger Hof. Morphological traits, quality and yield parameters were determi...
