German term

Verrechnungssorte

German to English Science Botany Rapeseed
I am translating a table comparing one cultivar/variety of rapeseed with others. The table lists crop yield, oil yield, resistance to funghi etc. I cannot think how to translate "Verrechnungssorte".

No idea what APS stands for. Have asked the client, but they said leave it as it is. It would help if they were more forthcoming, but there you go. Thanks.

Ventnai (asker) Jan 12, 2007:
I think Verrechnungssorte means the varieties used to compare with the variety (Sorte) being assessed. What I really need is something to convey the meaning of Verrechnung. The text is mostly in table form but this sentence appears after:

Für die Berechnung der Relativwerte wurde das Mittel der VRS als 100 % angenommen (Ertrag 100% = 51,66 dt/ha). Die APS-Einstufung wurde in Anlehnung an die VRS (Verrechnungssorten) vorgenommen. (VRS: Express, Talent, Elektra)

reference variety

... a somewhat vague idea in the sense of "Bezugssorte" (akin to "Bezugswerte" = "reference values").

[grape seed] type for cost balancing

I would need a bit more context...Perhaps it is the type of seed that they are actually listing in their invoice, or it is a cheaper quality of grape seed that they throw in to offset some costs...but my guess is as good as yours...

variety

I think you kind of answered your question yourself.
Variety or cultivar seems to be an internationally recognised term for it.

Thanks
Peer comment(s):

agree Steffen Walter : Good idea, probably better than "reference".

Thanks Steffen - Verrechnung seems a strange word to use though
