Working according to internationally accepted laboratory methods

Naktuinbouw and ISTA

Seed analysis is traditionally an important activity in the world of seed breeding, seed production and trade. The importance of analysis and certification is continuing to increase in line with the growing globalisation of the seed trade. Certification gives authorities and buyers the assurance that a shipment of seed complies with certain, defined quality standards relating to for example, germination power, purity or the presence of weed seeds. The International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) plays a key role in this certification process. Naktuinbouw supports and promotes the importance of good seed analysis and certification for the seed sector.
