Buy Quality In
Seeds, Not Price
Consider more than cost
when buying seed, according
to Dr William Alitchell. ex
tension 'agronomist at the
Unheisity of Delaware. Mon
ey saved buying Inexpensive
seed can be a very costly
economy it the seed quality
is poor
Germination noxious weed
seed content and the amount
ot the seed ot the desired
variety aie considerations
that are generally more im
l>ortant than cost alone
These qualm factors can be
easily checked by reading the
atta 1 hed labels
The analysis tag required
by law must show *he month
and year the seed was test
ed tor germination, and the
percentage of seed that will
germinate The tag must also
show the percentage of pure
seed ot the labeled variety,
the percentage ot other crop
and weed seeds and the-num-,
ber of noxious weed seeds per
pound, Mitchell said
When attached to sealed
containers, the certified tag
is a sure sign to the buyer
that this seed has met spe
cific standaids as required by
law ot a state certifying
agency*. Mit'.hell points out.
I’t the seed has been chem
ically 'treated, a separate
chemical treatment tag must
state the name ot the chem
ical used This tag must also
specitj any necessary satety
precautions when handling
the seed
Mitchell suggests that be
tfoie buying seed this spring,
a tarmei should take the
time to lead and compare the
into! niation on the tags at
tached to seed containers

come toxic e\en though they
are safe individually.
