German term

hohe Saatgutstufe

German to English Science Agriculture Barley breeding
Im Vergleich zu anderen Getreidearten ist die Braugerste ein Nischenprodukt, auf die sich nur eine geringe Anzahl von Züchtern spezialisiert hat. Grundsätzlich erwirtschaften Braugersten-Züchter, wie auch alle anderen Getreidezüchter, ihren Umsatz aus dem Verkauf der *hohen Saatgutstufen* und Lizenzen für die Nachtzucht.

I think that this is a stage when the new breed is almost fully bred. Google tells me that there are 3 Saatgutstufen, 1, 2 and 3, but that does not help me.

Anyone in the know?

TIA

Foundation seed seems most appropriate in your context.

Steffen da hat sich meine Kunde vertippt, ich habe den Text nur kopiert. Sind auch noch andere Fehler im Text.
Edith Kelly (asker) Oct 12, 2021:
Thanks Ramey according to this, it would be certified seed or at least foundation seed

So many sights are from India, a surprising fact.

High seed levels

Compared to other cereals, malt barley is a niche product in which only a small number of growers specialise. Basically, malt barley growers, like all other cereal growers, generate their turnover from the sale of high seed level(crops) and licences for night farming.

I think it simply refers to the differing volumes of see created by different crop cultivars.
