to set priorities for breeding
"Plant breeding is the purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes. This manipulation involves either controlled pollination, genetic engineering, or both, followed by artificial selection of progeny."

"to cultivate" is just another word for "to grow (plants)", so it would include growing plants for food, medicinal purposes, or decoration (flowers). The seed merchant is breeding plant varieties, not simply cultivating them as a farmer or gardener would do.

to set priorities for cultivation
"Breeding" generally refers more to animal rather than vegetable activity. "Cultivation" is probably more appropriate here.
Example sentence:
Is the journey also the destination or, in the universe of possibilities, how can priorities be set for cultivation?
Peer comment(s):

philgoddard
: Sorry, but you're wrong about breeding. And cultivation is quite different.

'Priorities' sounds a little odd...
"Is the process more important than the goal? Or how do breeders determine strategies for breeding from the myriads of possibilities."
