Supporting Information: Provide data to characterize the variety in the following areas:
a) Yield and other agronomic responses obtained from test locations that support the area of
adaptation.
b) Disease and insect resistance reactions and the testing conditions used to determine them
(i.e., field, greenhouse, or laboratory). State specific races or strains of organisms, if
known.
c) Provide evidence of quality and/or other relevant attributes if these claims are used as a
means of identifying the variety.
Provide separate data from at least two years and two locations in the area of adaptation for
agronomic traits, as appropriate. Include and identify at least one recognized check variety for yield
and quality traits, if applicable. Include and identify susceptible and resistant checks for comparative
pest reactions.
Present all data in well-constructed tables appended to the end of this application. Number the tables
and indicate where the data were collected. Include captions or footnotes as necessary to clearly
explain the nature of the units of measurements used in the header. Provide the number of entries in
the tests, the test grand mean, and a measure of statistical significance for each location-year or test.
4. Summary Description: Provide a concise single-page description of the variety for AOSCA to
publish for use by official seed certifying agencies. All claims must be supported by data.
Use the template located at the end of this application.

Summary Description: Provide a concise, single page description of the variety on the next page for
AOSCA to publish for use by official seed certifying agencies. All claims must be supported by data.
You must use the categories described below, using COMPLETE SENTENCES. Insert your text in the
blank cell next to the item number. PLEASE DELETE THIS INSTRUCTION PAGE WHEN
SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION.
1. The name of the variety, including its experimental designation, its market class, and the
identity of the developer and/or owner.
2. A summary statement of the selection criteria and breeding procedures that were previously
described. Confidential business information is not required.
3. Area of probable adaptation, testing locations, and primary purpose for which the variety
will be used.
4. A statement relative to the variety’s disease and insect resistance.
5. Provide a detailed description of morphological, physiological and other identifying
characteristics by selecting options presented in the Variety Objective Description section
and typing or pasting the selections into the table on the Summary Description format page.
Include a description of variants and their frequency at the end of the section.
6. State the certified seed classes to be recognized, the party responsible for maintaining the
variety, and procedure(s) adopted for maintaining seed stocks, with limitations, if any. If
applicable, state whether the variety may be subject to collection of a royalty fee by
certifying agencies and whether any kind of stewardship or licensing agreement is required
that would affect certifying agency activities, such as trait-verification by molecular or
bioassay testing.
7. State the likely date that certified seed will first be offered for sale.
8. State whether or not application will be submitted for protection under the U.S. Plant
Variety Protection Act and, if appropriate, whether or not the “Certification Option” will be
elected (to be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed). If application for PVP
is not planned, state whether relevant descriptive data (morphological only) can be supplied
to the PVP database.
9. State whether or not certified seed production acreage can be published by AOSCA and
certifying agencies.
