Do you believe that your customers take the full measure of what the results of seed lab tests are telling them?
For the most part, most of our clients understand what our tests can tell them regarding seed quality and many utilize the information quite well.

There are some companies that still see little value in some seed quality testing, especially seed health testing. They test because they have to or because of an unfair regulation of trade, and they cannot look beyond the expense of the test.

Realistically, seed quality testing can be used to improve seed production practices and make a better product. Seed quality testing is an audit of the seed production practices and the seed producer should use any procedural audit for future product improvement!
