Field trials are a controversial issue. Those in favour argue that every pioneering technology needs to be tested under realistic conditions sooner or later, while opponents say, but not at the expense of the environment, and anyway, who bears the risk? When the US seed giant Monsanto was taken over by the chemical giant Bayer almost six years ago, the new German owner made the company name Monsanto disappear. The company had become well-known and successful thanks to its giant-killing business practices, but had also fallen into disrepute. And nomen was omen.
What Monsanto has achieved with seeds should be just fine with Mensanto. But instead of setting up huge trial fields, Mensanto is content with more or less fallow green spaces, flowerbeds, plant pots, etc., whereby plant communities with existing species are entirely desirable. After all, it is about contamination, breeding and reorganisation. So that people without any previous botanical knowledge or special language skills can also experience the rather inconspicuous splendour of the new varieties, they will be labelled bilingually in German and the scientific name at all sites. You can find the exact locations via google maps:
Update 22.8.24 – Unfortunately, not all the varieties which have been released have met with the same favour (or a great deal of favour?) Praemium perpetuum, Arbor occupata and Hortilogium vitalis have disappeared. Carlina sadistica and Patronus nobilis have suffered the same fate too, although the latter two have reappeared and found a new location.
