Details

For National Listing, the maintainer can be in a country granted equivalence. You can find a list of countries with species the UK will accept as meeting equivalence for variety maintenance.

If a country has not been granted equivalence for maintenance of varieties, a UK maintainer will be required.

The National Lists are lists of varieties of agricultural crop and vegetable which have been approved for certification and marketing in the UK.

To comply with the The Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) 2001, a plant variety on the National List must be maintained by at least one person who can maintain the variety in line with accepted practices.

Fill in this form to apply to maintain a plant variety. There are guidance notes at the end of the form.

Upload this form using the attachment section in UPOV PRISMA when applying.

For further information, see the guidance on National Listing of agricultural or vegetable crops.
