Not your grandpa's cultivars: the new conservation releases

Abstract:

Three new types of conservation plant
releases are now available from USDA
Plant Materials Centers as less thoroughly
tested but still useful alternatives to
traditional cultivars. These "pre-varietal"
releases include "tested," "selected," and
"source-identified" plant material and
have distinct labeling. They help meet a
strong customer demand for native plant
material that is available more quickly
than it takes to develop and test a cultivar
for a particular conservation use.
