Around The Farms
.a- Hv Mike Williams
,n County Ext. Chrmn.
rThe pressure is on to cut
costs on the farm as away of
raising profits, but it may be
false economy for farmers
to sacrifice the assurance of
quality in seed in order to
buy “bargain” seed at a
lower price.
There are always seed
available that don’t cost as
much as top quality, cer
tified seed. But these seed
have an unknown or certain
background and origin and
are of undetermined
quality. They probably
aren’t a bargain at any
price.
Seed should be labeled for
variety, germination and
purity. The best of these are
the certified seed that carry
the information on a blue
tag. This blue tag certifies
that the particular lot of
seed has been tested and
meets certification stan
dards.
: Information found on the
seed tag is listed and ex
plained below. All farmers
should learn what to look for
on a seed tag, to set stan
dards for the seed they are
going to buy and then shop
until they find seed that
meet those standards.
• Kind and Variety: The
kind of crop refers to the
species (soybeans, cotton,
tobacco) and is always
given on the seed tag.
Variety may or may not be
stated on the analysis tag.
Under this variety
definition, a hybrid name is
acceptable as a variety
name. If the variety is not
gfren, the seed tag should
have the statement,
“Variety Not Stated.”
Pure Seed: Pure seed
percentage gives the per
cent of total weight of the
kind and variety stated on
the analysis tag. If more
titan one kind and variety is
ndmed, the pure seed
percentage of each com
ponent must be stated.
Generally, farmers choose
seed with a high pure seed
percentage (98 per cent or
niore) of one kind and
variety.
“Germination: The percent
of pure seed that ger
minated in a standard test is
printed on the analysis tag.
This percentage is based on
q number of seeds that
produce normal seedlings. A
normal seedling is one that
has the seed structure
necessary for survival.
Growers should remember
that germination per
centage is based on pure
seed and not on the total
content of the bag. Most
farmers desire seed that are
high (80 per cent or higher)

Other Crop Seeds: This
includes the percentage of
crop seed other than the
kind and variety listed. In
the field, other crop plants
may be as troublesome as
weedy plants. Corn in
soybean seeds is an
example.
Weed Seeds: Presence of
weed seeds is expressed in
percentage of total weight.
This classification includes
seeds, bulbets, or tubers of
plants recognized by official
regulations or general usage
as common weeds. High
quality seed should contain
no or a very low percentage
of weed seeds.
Noxious Weed Seed:
Noxious weeds are plants
that are extremely difficult
to control by normal
cultural practices. The
name and number of
noxious weed seeds, bulb
lets, or tubers per pound
must be printed on the
analysis tag.
You shoud set some
quality standards before
buying seed. To determine if
the seeds you want to buy
meet these standards, read
and use the information on
the seed analysis tag.
