Field & Fodder

Registration of Field & Fodder Varieties in the French Catalogue

Before a new variety can be placed on the market in France, it must be registered in the Official French Catalogue of species and varieties.

Data acquired during the technical examinations for registration can also be widely used in other contexts.

A new variety can be protected by a specific intellectual property right, called a Plant Variety Right (PVR).

For most agricultural species, seed and propagating material must be certified before marketing in the European Union.

GEVES provides services and analyses across all cultivated species, on seeds, seedlings, and plants.
