Semena, avtohtone in udomačene sorte. V Semenarni Ljubljana se zaradi prilagojenosti rastnim razmeram pri nas zavedajo prednosti avtohtonih sort in že vrsto let skrbijo in vzdržujejo večino teh sort. Strokovno vodeni zapisi o vzdrževalni selekciji segajo v leto 1964. Selekcijsko-poskusni center na Ptuju je središče razvoja in raziskav Semenarne Ljubljana. V njem opravljajo ekološke in vegetacijske poskuse, nujne za nadzorovano kakovost semen, žlahtnijo različne vrste in sorte vrtnin in izvajajo vzdrževalno selekcijo, kar je najpomembnejša naloga centra. Danes ponujajo najširši izbor avtohtonih in tradicionalnih sort vrtnin in poljščin.
Seeds, indigenous and traditional varieties. Being adapted to Slovenia’ s climatic and ground conditions, Semenarna Ljubljana perfectly realizes the advantages of indigenous varieties, preserving and maintaining most of them for many years. The records of varietal selection that are kept at the company date back to 1964. Located in Ptuj, the Selection Center is central to the development and research at Semenarna Ljubljana, conducting ecological variety and vegetation trials( required in quality control of seed production), breeding many types and varieties of vegetables, and providing maintenance selection, which is the Center’ s top priority. Today, Semenarna Ljubljana offers the broadest range of indigenous and traditional vegetables and crops.
