     Breeder Seed Crop Regulations









Breeder status plots, the highest class of seed crops pedigreed by the CSGA, produce the original parent seed for all other pedigreed classes. It is most important, therefore, that this material is as free as practically possible from varietal impurities, contaminating weed seeds and other foreign material.

Since the Plant Breeder controls production of Breeder seed, it is the Plant Breeder’s responsibility to ensure it is grown and processed to the highest standards.

These Breeder Seed Crop Regulations should be used in conjunction with the CSGA Regulations and Procedures for Pedigreed Seed Crop Production (Circular 6) which outline the regulations and procedures for production of Select, Foundation, Registered and Certified seed crops. 

The purpose of this publication is to provide the CSGA requirements for peer-reviewed professional recognition of Plant Breeders; and direction to Plant Breeders responsible for the production of Breeder seed crops that are pedigreed by the CSGA.
