New Cultivar Development Lengthy process that may take years to decades depending on the crop Cutting-edge field-based and laboratory research Field trials and movement of research material (cultivars and germplasm under development)
New Cultivar Development Lengthy process that may take years to decades depending on the crop Cutting-edge field-based and laboratory research Field trials and movement of research material (cultivars and germplasm under development) Material transfer agreements (MTAs) set the conditions of movement of research material
Material Transfer Agreements Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are contracts governing transfer of research materials Establish sideboards on use of material Essential part of the cultivar development process Hundreds of MTAs processed by FAES to facilitate developing and testing of new cultivars Increasing staffing to increase productivity and efficiency of MTA process, and establishing implementing new metrics for MTA process evaluation
