Provide a completed technical questionnaire (TQ)
Would you like to apply for listing and/or Plant Breeders' Rights in the Netherlands? Make sure you complete the Technical Questionnaire (TQ). If the TQ is not completed, the Board for Plant Varieties will not process the application.
The technical questionnaire asks for some crops, among other things, about the presence or absence of resistance. You are obliged to enter here truthfully, i.e. on the basis of a reliable test, whether the variety is resistant or susceptible.
You can perform this test yourself, but you can also ask Naktuinbouw to test your sample. We have fixed rates, see the fees of Variety Testing, see section Resistance tests. You can fill in the result of this test on the Technical Questionnaire accompanying the application.
