The selection of varieties is essential for the success of any crop. A variety can be defined as plant grouping within a single botanical taxon of the lowest known rank showing characteristics that result from a given genotype, distinguished from any other plant grouping by the expression of the characteristics, and considered as a unit for propagation. To maintain a variety, it is therefore necessary to preserve its identity, the specific characteristics that define it, and differentiate it from other varieties. The use of certified seeds is advisable because seed certification is a recognized system to secure crop varieties, genetic identity, health, and purity. Note that plant diseases can be transmitted or disseminated by seeds (seed-borne diseases) such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi
