Flower to bag
Flowering field to sealed seed bag.
Farmers buy seed bags with a label and no field record, and germination failures appear only after the crop is in the ground.
Each lot is a record with its field, inspection date and germination result, and a failed test rejects the lot on the same line.
Field
The seed field is inspected at flowering.
Harvest and clean
The lot is harvested and cleaned.
Test
A germination test is run and written.
Bag
Certified lots are bagged with their code.
