Purity Short Course,
April 16-19, 2012
Agenda:
Purity week consists of lecture and laboratory practice on
seed structure, seed identification, purity analysis,
sampling and dividing, seed laws, and tolerances.
Attendees will conduct purity analyses and perform seed
identification separations on at least 10 different
samples. More than 116 different crop, vegetable, and weed
species will be available for practice.
Germination Short Course,
April 23-26, 2012
Agenda:
Germination week explores
the processes involved in seed germination, AOSA & ISTA
Rules, seedling
evaluation, seed dormancy, vigor, seed longevity and
deterioration, tetrazolium (TZ) testing, testing for
biotech traits, and other special tests. One full day is
dedicated TZ testing.
USDA, AMS, Seed Regulatory & Testing Division
FEDERAL SEED SCHOOLS 2012
Gastonia, NC
The
USDA Seed Regulatory and Testing Division will hold two
Federal Seed Schools at our facility in Gastonia, NC,
April 23-27, 2012 and August 13-17, 2012. The first three
and a half days 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, ryegrass fluorescence,
and pure seed definitions will be covered. The last day
and a half 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.
Participants from non-government laboratories will be
charged a fee of $160 ($32 per day). For more information
about these seed schools or to request a pre-registration
sheet, please contact Botanist Pattsy Jackson at
pattsy.jackson@ams.usda.gov or Acting Director
Susan Maxon at
susan.maxon@ams.usda.gov.
