Botanical approach in problem solving in growing and processing of carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.)

During the conduction of research project TEUCLIC (HRZZ-IP-11-2013-3304) some problems in carob growing and processing of carob pods and seeds were detected, as a consequence of insufficient botanical knowledge about morphology of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L) pods and seeds and also about physiology of anthesis. In this presentation two study cases will be exposed, in which some problems in carob growing and technology of drying of carob pods and seeds were solved exclusively by usage of basic botanical knowledge. However, bridging the gap between different approaches and disciplines by using different communication tolls, took a very long time. Achieved results are consequence of interdisciplinary and interactive approach of all stakeholders in research as well as final users of research results.
