DUS Testing (Distinguishability, Uniformity, Stability Testing)

DUS Testing stands for Distinguishability, Uniformity, and Stability Testing, often used in agriculture and plant breeding. 1. **Distinguishability** ensures a new plant variety is clearly different from existing ones. 2. **Uniformity** checks that the new variety consistently shows similar traits across its plants. 3. **Stability** assesses if these traits remain constant over time and in different growing conditions. Together, DUS Testing helps confirm that a new variety is unique and reliable, which is important for farmers, consumers, and the agricultural industry.
