Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The current seeds regulations in Mozambique specify, amongst other things, minimum required standards of germination rates depending on type, variety and stage of development of the seed We were aware that formal seed markets relied on research and development of seed breeds for assurance of the required quality and for innovations such as drought resistant varieties.
