Calibration books and calibration manuals Variety Testing
In the DUS testing, we follow CPVO protocols and/or UPOV guidelines. This applies to Dutch Plant Breeders' Rights and/or national listing and the preparation of variety descriptions. As a result, we have developed calibration books for a large number of crops. We have also developed calibration manuals together with Japan.
The calibration book and the calibration manual are practical documents that provide an illustrated explanation for each plant characteristic.
For the crops listed below, a calibration book or a calibration manual is available in English or Dutch:
