Can you describe the journey of plant material from the time that it arrives at CPCNW to the time that you are releasing it as clean material?

Um, sure.

Um, it's actually pretty, um, satisfying to walk through the, the process.

Um, it happens in, uh, three different phases.

So the first one is, uh, diagnosis, and the second one is treating, and then we verify.

That means we retest again before we, uh, either maintain in our repository or release it back to the, um, the nurseries or, uh, custom propagators.

When the material first arrives into the CPCNW, um, it may be a new grape variety or a cherry variety that, uh, a breeder just developed and wants to, uh, get introduced, um, or like a hop cultivator, uh, coming from maybe another state or another country.

So what kind of challenges or opportunities do you see for clean plant programs in the coming future?
