Delicate horseradish varieties (Bagaméri 93/1 and Bagaméri)
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.
  • Presentation:

  • 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.
  • Documentation available: records and results of DUS, UPOV tests and examinations.
The inventor(s)
  • Name(s): Bagaméri 93/1: Péter RÁCZ, Dr. László GÉCZI; Bagaméri delicate: Péter RÁCZ, Dr. László GÉCZI, Antal APAGYI
  • Self 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).
The protection

  • Countries where it is force: Hungary
Business intention: Licencing and looking for distriutors
