Department Issues Seed Tag Warning ANNAPOLIS. Md. Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Robert L. Walker issued a re- minder to Maryland farmers to carefully re view the analysis lag on all seed they purchase to plant a cover crop this coining winter. “Many farmers are planting cover crops un der the Maryland Agri cultural Water Quality Cost-Share program to reduce nutrient runoff from their land. This has significantly in creased the demand for cover crop seed, parti cularly rye. Unfortun ately, some poor quality seed is being offered for sale,” Wallker said. The Maryland De partment of Agricul ture’s Turf and Seed Section recently placed a tractor-trailer load of seed rye under a stop sale Older after its seed laboratory found the seed to be contaminated with seed of 17 differ ent weeds, including such noxious weeds as Canada thistle, John songrass, com cockle, and wild garlic. ‘The cost of control* ling these weeds could easily exceed the pay ments for installing the cover crop under the cost share program,” said Walker. According to Mal colm Santa, chief of the turf and seed section, all seed bought and sold in Maryland must be test ed and labeled under the Maryland Seed Law. “Any farmer plan ning to use home pro duced seed is strongly urged to have it tested to insure proper ger mination and purity,” Santa said. For testing, a two pound sample should be sent to the Maryland Department of Agricul ture, Turf and Seed Sec tion, 50 Harry S, Tru man Parkway, Annapo lis, MD 21401. The cost for a complete purity, germination, and nox ious weed examination is $l3. For more information on the testing and label ing of seed, contact the Turf and Seed Section at (410) 841-5960.
