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.
Two categories exist for vegetable crops: “Standard” for seeds and “CE” for plants, and “Certified”, an optional superior grade.
GEVES is responsible for characterising varietal genetic resistance on behalf of the CTPS, in the framework of variety registration in the French Catalogue.
GEVES provides services and analyses across all cultivated species, on seeds, seedlings, and plants.
