DUSTNT is a computer program which helps manage and analyse data from
Distinctness,
Uniformity and Stability (DUS) variety trials for cross pollinating crops such as herbage and vegetable
crops. Use of the program enables decisions to be made on whether new varieties of the crop are uniform,
stable and distinct from established varieties.
The program has been
produced by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) with some additional funding
from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
To download the DUSTNT software it is necessary to register. Once registered,
an e-mail will be sent supplying a username and password (this may take a few hours).
