Revised submission conditions courgette and various cabbage crops (modification)

Starting from the next trial season, DNA testing for courgette crops will take place prior to the standard trials. This allows us to better determine the reference varieties for the applications. For this reason, the submission date for the identiy sample is being brought forward by two months.

• Final closing date: 15 February
• Final submission date end sample: 1 March

A single submission date applies to all types of white cabbage, regardless the time of maturity. This submission date has not been changed.

• Final closing date: 1 January
• Final submission date end sample: 15 January

We are aligning the DNA marker testing for cabbage crops more efficiently with the standard field trials, so that the results can be taken into account into the DUS testing. As a result, the submission dates for various cabbage crops are being brought forward.

• Closing date cauliflower (seed propagated, spring, summer, autumn and winter): 15 November
• Closing date cauliflower (seed propagated, overwintering and tropical), curly kale, savoy cabbage and kohlrabi: 15 April
• Submission date end sample cauliflower (seed propagated, spring, summer, autumn and winter): 1 December
• Submission date end sample cauliflower (seed propagated, overwintering and tropical), curly kale, savoy cabbage and kohlrabi: 1 May
