NRL Seeds: 49 new seed quality testing methods formalised

In December 2021, the French Ministry of Agriculture officialised 49 new seed quality testing methods, bringing the total number to 73. These methods were proposed by GEVES as part of its NRL seed mandate for seed certification. These methods are used for germination, purity and counting analyses. These methods, validated by the ISTA at international level, are now official at French level and apply to NRL and, where applicable, to laboratories approved for official testing.
