Amendments to Regulations Under the Federal Seed Act
Traduzione automatica locale · Lingua originale della fonte
Riepilogo
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising the Federal Seed Act (FSA) regulations by changing the common and botanical names of several agricultural and vegetable seeds; adding several kinds to the list of agricultural and vegetables seeds subject to the FSA; changing germination evaluation descriptions; changing the method of fluorescence use in determining pure seed percentages in ryegrasses; adding methods for testing coated seed; adding methods for determining the presence of fungal endophyte in seeds; and updating the standards for certified seed. These changes will result in the adoption of scientific names currently recognized by the scientific community and provide for the use of common names most widely acceptable in seed trade. They will also eliminate potential conflicts between State and Federal regulations which could inhibit the interstate movement of seeds.
