These are in addition of the 20 varieties published in the October 25 registration order as a result of the August 1 section.
During this meeting, different points of evolution concerning DUS and VCUS trials were discussed.
A protocol for an additional test for distinctness concerning a resistance characteristic to Leptosphaeria maculans was validated and will be applied in 2023.
The technical regulation for cruciferous plants for non-seed use (forage or service plants) is being revised, in particular on the decision criteria as well as on the thresholds for the VCUS admission of cruciferous varieties for service plant use. It will be finalized and submitted to the section by mail for validation, publication, and application for the 2023 deposits.
