National Listing of Plant Varieties
National Listing is a legal requirement for new varieties of the main agricultural species which seeks to ensure that no new variety can be marketed unless it is genuinely new and an improvement on varieties already being sold.
National Listing is a legal requirement for the marketing of seed and plant material of varieties of agricultural plant species, vine, hop and vegetables.
For farmers and other users of plant varieties, the National Listing is a guarantee of value for cultivation and use (VCU), the quality of the planting material, and also a guarantee that the variety is not dangerous to human health, animals, plants or the environment.
