What is CERTIFIED Seed?

In the production of Wisconsin Certified seed, care is taken to protect varietal purity and to provide seed of sound mechanical quality. This is done through the following procedures:

  • Wisconsin Certified seed is produced directly from certified Foundation seed stocks supplied to the seed producers each year by the University of Wisconsin College of Agricultural and Life Sciences or other certified Foundation seed stock sources.
  • Seed production fields are inspected for varietal purity, isolation and freedom from severe weed problems.
  • The seed, after conditioning, is sampled and laboratory tested for varietal and mechanical purity and germination.
  • Each bag of seed, which meets certification standards, is tagged with an official Certified seed label.

Cert Tag

The growers listed in the seed directory have applied for field inspection. The certification of the seed harvested is dependent upon meeting field and seed certification standards.
