Upcoming Federal
Seed Schools The Seed Regulatory and Testing Branch will host two Federal Seed Schools this year at our facility in Gastonia, NC, May 10-14, and August 16-20, 2010. 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 ($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 Laboratory Supervisor Susan Maxon at susan.maxon@ams.usda.gov. Seed grader and/or quality management training may also be available the last two days of each week if there is sufficient interest. For information on cost and registration for seed grader training or quality management training, please contact Perry Bohn at perry.bohn@ams.usda.gov. Pre-registration May Pre-registration August
