USDA. Agricultural Marketing Service.
Gastonia, North Carolina
The Seed Regulatory and Testing Branch will host Federal Seed Schools this year in Gastonia, NC, May 11-15, and Aug 10-14, 2009. The first three days of both of these seed schools will focus on purity and identification of similar crop and weed species, with emphasis on identification of noxious-weed seeds. Other topics such as the uniform blowing procedure and ryegrass fluorescence will be covered. The last two days of the week will focus on variety testing, including trait testing, and seed health testing such as detection of seed treatments by bioassay methods, depending upon the interest of the participants.

These seed schools are open to seed analysts from private and government seed testing laboratories. Presentation of topics will be on a level appropriate for experienced seed analysts. Enrollment at each of the seed schools will be limited to 20 participants due to the hands-on nature of the topics and one-on-one attention from the instructors.
