Certified Seed

Certified seed is the starting point to a successful crop and is not an accident. Certified seed is of a distinguishable variety produced under a limited generation system required to meet specific standards to ensure genetic purity, identity, and quality. Production is carefully controlled. Eligible seedstock is used to ensure that the seed purchased of a cultivar is indeed that cultivar. Also, field inspections verify that the crop exhibits visual characteristics of that variety, in addition to indicating the absence or presence of weeds, among other factors. Time and money are invested into the development of newer certified varieties with improved traits. Planting certified seed has short and long term benefits. The use of certified PGG Seeds material guarantees quality, genetic stability, and consistency of performance year after year.
