Plant Licensing

Plant licensing is a right of any plant breeder who has developed a new variety. This assists with protecting their variety and also keeps a check on illegal reproduction of the variety.

Developing a new variety, doing trials and protecting it take time, patience and money. A lot of research is put in to develop a new variety.

Moreover, a breeder knows the attention and care that is required for the new plant variety to grow optimally. When a grower sells the new variety that is protected with plant licensing, a grower can expect clear technical instructions and production support.

The breeder will license growers with a written agreement it may be for a predetermined time or have some performance related clause.
