Description 

 Varieties and unregistered entries in the RVTs are for research purposes only.

Trial cooperators must be aware that varieties and entries in the RVTs, including checks, may have plant breeders’ rights (PBR), and/or other contracts that dictate how grain produced from these trials is disposed.

Any unused seed or grain harvested from the RVTs must not be used as seed for any purpose. Unused seed and harvested grain must be disposed in a manner that does not involve planting for any purpose. Unused seed and harvested grain must be: (1) disposed of, (2) fed to livestock, or (3) delivered to an elevator to be sold as grain for any class the variety or bulked varieties are eligible for. Any other use is prohibited. Site managers are asked to ensure that all staff handling harvested grain are aware of these restrictions.
