Abstract

The breeding research of the Institute and the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding has been pictured on plates which are hung on show in a temporary showroom in the months of May, June and July. For that purpose the threshing floor of the Institute is fitted up as a reception room during these months. New plates are added every year: with small costs and without too much trouble an attractive show is soon made.

The writer gives a description of this exhibition in 1960, together with a survey of the working programmes of the institutes.

In the references a number of articles are mentioned describing the work of the two institutes.

Samenvatting

In de maanden mei, juni en juli wordt in een tijdelijke demonstratiezaal een overzicht gegeven van het veredelingsonderzoek van Instituut en Stichting voor Plantenveredeling. Daartoe wordt de dorsvloer met eenvoudige middelen tot een ontvangstzaal ingericht.

Telkenjare worden enige nieuwe wandplaten toegevoegd; daarbij wordt gestreefd naar een standaard formaat. Met weinig tijd, weinig geld en weinig moeite komt een aantrekkelijk geheel tot stand.

Schrijver geeft een beschrijving van de tentoonstelling in 1960, terwijl een schematisch overzicht van de werkprogramma's is toegevoegd. In de literatuurlijst zijn in hoofdzaak artikelen genoemd, waarin (in een voor het buitenland toegankelijke taal) het veredelingsonderzoek van beide instellingen is gepubliceerd.
