I Good Seed Week
Farmers and gardeners
will be making some im
portant decisions within the
next few weeks ? decisions
that will <go a long way in
determining if they start the
crop season out right ui if
they start it out with a strike
against them.
"The decision on seed
selection is one of the most
important farmers and
gardeners make." says Phil
Denlinger. Duplin County
assistant agricultural
extension agent. "Good seed
is readily available and they
represent a relatively small
portion of the total cost of a
crop."
Trying to cut costs by
buying cheap seed is false
economy. Buying the best
seed, even if it costs a little
more, nearly always is the
wiser investment. Denlinger
adds.
A statewide emphasis on
quality seed for farm and
garden is underway as part
of the program centered
around "Good Seed Week,"
the first week of spring.
March 20-26.
North Carolininians buy
large quantities of seed each
year as farmers plant mil
lions of acres of crops and
Tar Heel gardeners, among
the most avid home vege
table gardeners in the
country, tend their food
producing plots.
Poor quality seeds ?
those with low germination
rates or with weed seeds ?
find their way to market year
after year. The best way to
avoid poor seeds is to check
the blue tag attached to each
container of cerrified seed.
These seeds have been
tested for germination and
purity. The seed tag will
have the following informa
tion: Kind &. Variety: This is
simply concerned with the
species of plant such as
tomato, pepper or corn. It
may or may not state the
variety name. If it does, the
hybrid name is acceptable.
Pure Seed: This is based
on the percentage of total
weight of the kind and
variety as stated on the bag.
If more than one kind and
variety is named, percentage
of each component must be
stated. Generally, farmers
choose seeds with a high
pure seed percentage (,98%
or more) of one kind and*
variety.
Germination: The percen
tage of pure seeds that
germinated in a standard test
is printed on the analysis tag.
This percentage is based on a
number of seeds that pro
duce normal seedlings. A
normal seedling is one that
has the seed structure neces
sary for survival. Growers
should remember that ger
mination percentage is based
on pure seeds and not on the
total content of the bag. Most
farmers desire seeds that are
high (80 percent or higher in
germination.)
Other Crop Se cb: This
includes the percentage of
crop seeds other than the
kind and variety listed. In the
field, other crop plants may
be as troublesome as weedy
plants. Corn in soybean seed
is an example.
Weed Seed: Presence of
weed seed is expressed in
percentage of total weight.
This classifications includes
seeds, bulblets or tubers of
plants recognized by official
regulations or general usage
as common weeds. High
quality seeds should contain
none or very low percentage
of w eed seeds.
Noxius Weed Seeds: Nox
ious weeds are plants that
are extremely difficult to
control by normal cultural
practices. The name and
number of noxious weed
seeds, bulblets or tubers per_
pound must be printed on the
analysis tag.
"Set some quality stand
ards before buying seeds."
Denlingcr suggests. "To de
termine if the seeds you want
to.bus meet these standards,
read and use the information
on the seed analysis tag."
