Fruit

Before a new variety can be placed on the market in Europe, it must undergo DUS testing for registration in the French Catalogue or for protection.

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

All fruit propagating material that is marketed in the EU must adhere to strict requirements.

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

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