Certified plant propagation of Ribes and Rubus in Sweden
2016
Martinsson, E.
The Swedish certification scheme for soft fruit species has been in action for 30 years. There is no tolerance for pests and diseases (P&D, listed in SJVFS 2010:47) on nuclear stock plants. Samples are regularly taken in the production fields for certified plants, and sent for external laboratory analysis. The Elite Plant Station is responsible for P&D testing and treatments, true-to-type tests and for keeping the nuclear stock plants isolated and healthy. All propagation starts from a nuclear stock plant which has been tested for P&D as prescribed in the directives. The certification at the elite plant level has worked well, and the Elite Plant Station also acts as a national gene bank for certified fruit and berry varieties.
