ISAA Summer Workshop
This
workshop is designed to cover in detail the crops of
onion, corn and small legumes (alfalfa & clover) and large
legumes (beans & peas). The goal of this workshop is
to help promote test uniformity. A survey will be sent to
each person who registers to help tailor the hands on
training that will be done at the State Seed Lab. Download Agenda Download Registration Form
USDA, AMS, Seed Regulatory & Testing Division 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.
