On the base of literature overview and on the base of the official National List of Varieties the comprehensive list of Slovenian cultivars was made. Some of new cultivars of agricultural plants were not entered to the official variety list in spite of that in practice were sown. The most of Slovenian cultivars of grapevine (26 cultivars), potatoes (17) and of hop (11) were bred in Slovenia. Slovenia has also some own cultivars of some field crops, grasses, legumes and vegetables, first of all of bean (8), chicory (4) and lamb's lettuce (3), but also has cultivars of some fruit trees. Taking into account, that Slovenia has comprehensive gene bank of some agricultural plants, there exists a great possibility for further effective plant breeding.
