Cultivars

      New cultivars are more 
productive and/or more 
persistent . They can be used 
in the protection and 
conservation of soil and 
water resources, reduction 
of surface water pollutant 
transport, improvement of 
soil productivity, 
preservation of a favorable 
balance between pests and 
predators and enhancement 
of biological diversity. In 
addition, some cultivars 
have ornamental value for 
banks and roadsides or for 
the production of bioenergy. 
Organic farmers and those 
interested in growing crops 
for green manure may find 
these cultivars valuable.
