Before releasing new cultivars in plant breeding programs, their testing includes all the following except:

1. growing these in the research fields and recording their performance under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices.
2. testing the materials in farmers’ fields, for one growing season at selected locations in the country
3. comparison to the best available local crop cultivar – a check or reference cultivar
4. taking care of all patent and legal issues
