Abstract
Of the cultivars entered into the register since 1994 relatively the most rapid success; at least 10% share in the seed plantation area over 3 years since registration, was observed for Start and Olga in faba bean, Komandor and Merlin in edible pea, Wiato in fodder pea, Butan and Boros in white lupin, Sonet, Baron and Cezar in narrow-leaf lupin and Mister in yellow lupin as well as Hanka in spring vetch and Wista in winter vetch. At the same time many cultivars did not exceed even a few-percent share threshold on seed plantations. Those most available on the market over 2003-2005 were the sowing seeds of cultivars which were entered into the register at least a few or even a few dozen years earlier, however no popular cultivar was among the top yielding. The need to finance new cultivars mostly with own means should make the breeders and seed companies launch the seed material of their cultivars on the market immediately, especially when cultivars from the EU catalogue are commonly available.
