To date, ISHI has published a working on-line manual of seed health testing methods. The latest version of this manual can be found on the FIS website: www.worldseed.org. We are also ready to publish our first working sheet with ISTA; the ISHI method for testing brassica seed for black rot bacteria contamination. In my opinion, our biggest accomplishment to date has been to get experts from 5 very different countries to openly discuss seed health issues in a format that is focused on cooperation. Although, the production of internationally accepted methods has been slower than anticipated, the sharing of information and the cooperative attitude of these scientists, often with different country and company goals has been remarkable. The sustained effort of the primary core of these companies is also quite commendable.
