Requirements for producing certified seed of field crops include planting eligible stock, field inspection of the growing crop, conditioning seed in an approved plant, sampling, laboratory analysis and proper labeling of the seed. These requirements provide the buyer with the best possible assurance of obtaining good quality seed of known purity and heredity. WSCIA is designated to assistthe WSDAper a memorandum of understanding in the certification of small grains, chickpeas, field peas, lentils, soybeans, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, and forest trees. PRODUCTION OF CERTIFIED SEED A SUMMARY OFTHE SEED CERTIFICATON PROCEDURES 1. Variety Selection: Select a variety that hasthe genetic potential to perform well in your area. The Winter and Spring Certified Seed Buying Guides are excellent tools to use in determining what variety to select based on such data as plant height, emergence, winter survival index, days to head, test weight, disease resistance, protein and yields based on precipitation zones. For in-depth variety performance information, go to the WSU Extension Cereal Variety Testing Program web site at http://variety.wsu.edu. 2. Seed Classes: Four classes of certified seed of released varieties are recognized by seed certification agencies: Breeder, Foundation, Registered and Certified. A distinctive tag is attached to each bag to denote the seed class. Breeder seed (white tag)-is very limited in amount and is directly produced or controlled by the originating plant breeder, institution, or owner. This seed is normally not available in commercial channels. Breeder seed provides the source for the initial and recurring increase of foundation seed. Foundation seed (white tag)-is multiplied from breeder seed and is grown under the supervision of a Foundation Seed Program of either the public or private institution controlling the variety. Registered seed (purple tag)-is the progeny of either breeder or foundation seed. Registered seed is available in regular market channels and is normally required to produce certified seed. Certified seed (blue tag)-is the most commonly encountered certified seed and is the large- volume class sold to growers for producing a commercial crop of the variety. It is the progeny of either foundation or registered seed stock. Under certain circumstances, described as follows, the progeny of certified seed can be recertified as long as the genetic identity, varietal purity and other standards are maintained. Federal Seed Act 201.70 Limitations of generations for certified seed. 2 The number of generations through which a variety may be multiplied shall be limited to that specified by the originating breeder or owner and shall not exceed two generations beyond the Foundation seed class with the following exceptions which may be made with the permission of the originating or a sponsoring plant breeder, institution, or his designee: (a)Recertification of the Certified class may be permitted when no Foundation seed is being maintained. (b)The production of an additional generation ofthe Certified class may be permitted on a 1-year basis only, when an emergency is declared by any official seed certifying agency stating that the Foundation and Registered seed supplies are not adequate to plant the needed Certified acreage of the variety. The additional generation of Certified seed to meet the emergency need is ineligible for recertification. Foundation seed of publicly developed varieties is produced and sold by the Washington State Crop Improvement Association in close cooperation with Washington State University and Oregon State University plant breeders. Foundation Seed of privately owned varieties is maintained by the owner of the variety and is inspected by the official certifying agency. 3. Seed Stock Verification: Save the tags, bulk sale certificate, or other documentation you received with the purchase of the seed to establish proof of seed origin and class. This must be submitted with the field inspection application as seed stock verification 4. Transporting, Handling, and Storing Seed: Transport bulk seed in a truck that has been cleaned with a vacuum and/or compressed air. Avoid using trucks with wood-floored boxes since other seed can be stuck in cracks and contaminate the seed. Checkthe tarp for contaminants. Clean conveyors making sure to remove the conveyor cover panels to get access to all parts. Reverse and clean augers used to move seed. If seed is stored in bulk before planting, make sure the storage container is cleaned before placing the seed into it by sweeping walls, floor, and doors. Also make sure to reverse and clean load-out augers before loading the seed into the storage bin. 5. Land Requirements and Isolation: Select clean, weed-free ground. Check Field Standards WAC 16- 302-685, page 15, to see if the field meets all of the requirements. The standards include general rules which apply to all crops and additional sets of special rules for certain crops being certified. The field must have a definite boundary such as a fence, ditch, road or barren strip. The unit of certification is an enclosed field, or a portion of a field separated from the remainder by a defined boundary. The previous crop history of the land must be known. The land in question must not have been planted to another variety of the same crop for a certain length of time as defined in the individual crop standards. A seedling inspection is an option for waiving land history. It is necessary when required land history for 3 certification cannot be met due to previously planted crop. So} for example} if you raised any kind of certified wheat on the field last year} you would need a seedling inspection to grow certified wheat on the same field this year. This includes all Clearfield varieties} there is no rule exempting certain chemicals. You may plant the same kind back on the same field if you are producing the exact same variety of equal or lower class this year. Seedling inspections are to be done at the 3-4 leaf stage. Please contact WSCIA to request a seedling inspection at least one week in advance of the 3-4 leaf stage. Seepage 20 item (le JJ for cost of seedling inspections. The Application for Seedling Field Inspection and the Seedling Field Inspection are located at the back of the guide on page 27 and 28 in the miscellaneous section. WSCIA has neither promised nor given assurances of certification for any field or crop as a result of the Seedling Field Inspection. 6. Planting: The drill} bulk seed handling truck} auger} and seed treating equipment must be thoroughly cleaned prior to planting. Exercisecaution when planting adjacent fields so you don't contaminate your seed field. Don't turn around in} or drive across your seed field with a planter holding another crop or variety. 7. Application for Field Inspection: Complete applications for small grains (both winter and spring varieties), buckwheat} field peas} chickpeas} lentils} and millet are due at the WSCIA office by June 1} soybeans July 1} and sorghum July 15. To be considered a complete application} you must include the application} seed stock verification} a map to the fleldls}, and payment. Application forms are included in the miscellaneous section at the back of this directory on page 25} or may be obtained from the WSCIA website www.washingtoncrop.com. Application fees and field inspection fees are listed on page 20 in the miscellaneous section. Thetags from the bags of planted seed or the bulk sales certificate from the purchase of bulk seed both qualify as seed stock verification. WSCIA will also accept an invoice as long as the following information is included on it: Name and address of company the seed was purchased from} purchaser's name and address, kind, variety, class, lot number, and weight. Please include a detailed map to the field with your application. FSA maps or other GPS maps are preferred} but a hand drawn map will suffice as long asyou include road names} closest town, and other relevant landmarks. 8. Field Conditions and Management: After the field is planted} the grower should inspect the field periodically during the growing season. The field should be kept free of weeds} particularly those which cannot be separated in the seed cleaning process} as well as noxious weeds. SeeWAC 16-302-100, page 18} for prohibited noxious weeds and WAC 16-302-105, page 19,for objectionable noxious uploads/Ingenierie_Lourd/ karens-guide.pdf
