The varieties are included in the National Variety List which are liable to be entered therein under the ZSMKR (agricultural plants, vegetables, hops and vine).

The National Variety List includes the information on an individual variety, laid down in Article 21 of the Rules on the procedure for acceptance of a variety in the National Variety List and on keeping of the National Variety List. Some variety designations indicate as a synonym also the original variety designation or a foreign designation of varieties which are present also in the neighbouring countries.

3. Descriptive Variety List

The Descriptive Variety List (DVL) is a collection of information on varieties of agricultural plants, obtained as a result of special examination of varieties.

The special examination of varieties provides for establishing the adaptation of varieties to our growing conditions, the growing potential, the quality of yield and the resistance to biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Such information on an individual variety is necessary for expert counselling and application of varieties, in particular after joining the EU when all varieties which are entered in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plants and Vegetables and have not been subject of preliminary examination in Slovene conditions, may be marketed and produced without limitations.

The aim of the Descriptive Variety List is to prepare a collection of information on an individual variety on the basis of the previously obtained results of examination of varieties in the procedure of acceptance in the Slovene National Variety List, and the results of examination obtained by the special examination of varieties.

The Descriptive Variety List is intended for experts of the Agricultural Advisory Service and, first of all, for producers.

The Descriptive Variety List shall be prepared by the Phytosanitary Administration RS, together with the performers of examination of varieties, and shall publish this in an independent collection Opisna sortna lista Republike Slovenije (The Descriptive Variety List of the Republic of Slovenia), available in a printed and electronic form.
