Sažetak
Farmers may use seed that they have saved for their own use to grow and harvest a crop - this is known as Farm Saved Seed (FSS). It mostly refers to the harvested grain only of those self-pollinated agricultural varieties such as wheat, soybean and barley that are protected by Plant Breeders Rights legislative. Croatia urgently need a law-regulated framework that would determine FSS as a transparent seed category. The framework should include all necessary regulations on purposes, technical standars and transparent collecting of royalty on FSS use. Any uncontrolled FSS transaction - charged, bartered or free cause inability to collect and control royalty on FSS. Misuse of FSS will also cause difficulties for milling and baking industry that often set up high demands with respect to quality and exact varietal seed, as well as for producers that might not be able to sell such mixed seed to the food processing and confectionery industry. Consequently, reappearance of certain diseases (Tilletia tritici) will necessary increase chemical field application and lower germination rate of FSS imght increase the required quantity of artificial manures in the soil. This is not in accordance with recommended sustainable agricultural practise of the European Union.
