UPCOMING FEDERAL
SEED SCHOOLS The USDA Seed Regulatory and Testing Branch will be hosting two Federal Seed Schools this year at our facility in Gastonia, NC, May 11-15, and August 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.
Participants from non-government laboratories will be
charged a fee of $160.
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 Laboratory Supervisor Susan Maxon at susan.maxon@ams.usda.gov.
