*What is Certified Seed?

Certified seed is seed of a known variety produced under strict seed certification standards to maintain varietal purity. Seed lots must also meet specified standards for other crops, inert matter, weed seeds, and germination. Certified seed is also free of prohibited noxious weed seeds. All certified seed must pass field inspection, be conditioned by an approved seed conditioning plant, and then be sampled and pass laboratory testing before it can be sold as certified seed.

Classes of Certified Seed

There are four classes (generations) of certified seed. In order of genetic purity they are breeder, foundation, registered and certified seed.

Breeder seed is directly controlled by the originating plant breeder, sponsoring institution or firm which supplies the initial source and recurring increases of foundation seed. There are no certification standards for breeder seed.

Foundation seed is produced from breeder's seed or foundation seed produced under the control of the originator or sponsoring institution or licensee. Foundation seed is controlled by the originating plant owner or licensee.

Registered seed is produced from foundation or other approved seed stocks. This class of seed shall be of a quality suitable for the production of certified seed. This seed is usually, but not always, one generation from foundation seed.

Certified seed is produced from foundation, registered, certified, or other approved seed stocks. This seed is two generations from foundation seed. Certified seed can not be used to produce certified seed again without the approval of the state certification agency, which can approve production only under extreme conditions.

  • Some organic grains are in short supply this year due to a few emerging problems. The biofuels industry is competeing with land otherwise used for planting of food crops.
  • Emerging markets in Africa and Asia are putting s strain on supply and crop failures of already scarce crops are a problem too.
  • GMO crops are contaminating some farmer's lands and the corporations are tying them up in court preventing them from producing new seed. Download By Clicking Here
  • Whenever possible we are substituting non-GMO, untreated conventional seeds on our pages where you would ordinarily find organic seed.
