In many countries, variety registration also requires proof of adaptation to certain growing conditions and a test of the variety's processing and use characteristics. These Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) tests involve multi-locational testing, determination of yield and yield-components, such as disease resistance, in comparison to the already existing varieties. Depending on the crop, VCU tests include certain use characteristics, such as cooking time of legumes, baking quality of wheat and digestibility of fodder. 3, record 1, English, - value%20for%20cultivation%20and%20use
