The
                invention 
                
                    - The
                        problem to be solved: 
 
                        In Hungary the only place, where the main
                        activity is still horseradish production
                        is Bagamér and it's surrounding area.
                        Production type is monoculture. Produced
                        varieties are morphologically
                        heterogeneous, yields and resistance to
                        diseases are below the desirable.

                    - Definition:
                        
 
                        Our efforts were to achieve
                        certain results in the field of
                        variety-improvement. At the beginning we
                        applied only selection and then
                        micro-propagation as well. By this way we
                        tried to increase homogeneity and then to
                        approach this to the market demand.

                    - Application:
                        
 
                        Our varieties presently used as: edible
                        horseradish (shredded, with vinegar, or
                        cream), horseradish cream,
                        salad-dressing, hair-treatment. Dried
                        horseradish is used for human consumption
                        and industrial extraction.

                    - Advantages:
                        
 
                        The root (rhizome) is healthy, evenly
                        growing (thickening), smooth surfaced,
                        white coloured and delicious. Next to the
                        creation of a favourable market image,
                        the variety specific production methods
                        has also been established, which resulted
                        that the completing of industrial
                        processing and application came to the
                        front.

                    - Stage
                        of development: 
 
                        Varieties are propagated on
                        stock-plantations - supported by the OMMI
                        (National Institute for Agricultural
                        Quality Control), FVM (Ministry of
                        Agriculture and Rural Development), OMFB
                        (National Committee for Technical
                        Development). Our activity is entirely
                        export orientated, because more than 90%
                        of our products are sold in abroad.

                        introduction: 
 
                        At the beginning of the 90's we could
                        select a few high-yielding lines from the
                        plantation of Mr.Imre Török (producer)
                        in Bagamér region. Selection was
                        completed by comparative control trials
                        of varieties, which we accomplished in
                        different places, e.g.: Bagamér,
                        Újléta, Debrecen-Pallag and
                        Demonstration Area of DATE (Debrecen
                        Agricultural University).
