VARIETY REGISTRATION/ APPROVALVARIETY REGISTRATION/ APPROVAL

Variety Approval and Registration Procedure

When a breeder selects a candidate variety on the basis of a wide range of tests and considers it

having sufficient merit and competitiveness over the existing varieties of the same crop, he simultaneously

submits the seed sample (Breeder/ Nucleus Seed) of his candidate variety along with its tentative

“Botanical Description” to two agencies. (1) PARC (all crops except cotton) and PCCC

(cotton varieties only) and (2) FSC&RD


Variety Evaluation Committees (VECs) Variety Evaluation Committees (VECs) of of PARC & PCCC evaluate the candidate varieties in PARC & PCCC evaluate the candidate varieties in National Uniform Yield Trials (NUYTs) or National National Uniform Yield Trials (NUYTs) or National Coordinated Varietal Trials (NCVTs) at various Coordinated Varietal Trials (NCVTs) at various specific locations in the province/country. This specific locations in the province/country. This evaluation is at least for two years to evaluate the evaluation is at least for two years to evaluate the regional adaptability, productivity, quality and regional adaptability, productivity, quality and resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses etc. resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses etc.

On the other hand, simultaneously, FSC&RD On the other hand, simultaneously, FSC&RD evaluates the variety, through its Registration wing, evaluates the variety, through its Registration wing, for DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability) for DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability) Testing. DUS testing is important to evaluate a Testing. DUS testing is important to evaluate a variety for pure seed production and maintenance. variety for pure seed production and maintenance.
