Testing for resistance of the new candidate varieties is performed in the so-called VCU (Value for Cultivation and Use) trials under natural infection and in special small-plot or micro-plot trials using different disease provocative methods. Disease resistance, especially those of multiple and horizontal-type (race non-specific, partial or durable) resistances, has recently become a key limiting factor in the state variety registration. The role of disease resistance in the decision-making process of variety registration is demonstrated on the examples of winter wheat and sunflower as two major field crops in Hungary.application/pdfvariety testingVCU and provocative trialtesting for resistancemultiple disease resistancesustainable agriculturefolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.34101/actaagrar/66/1886Acta Agraria Debreceniensis66Acta agrar.
