seed health standards

Seed health standards are guidelines that ensure seeds are free from diseases, pests, and other harmful organisms. These standards are important for maintaining the quality and safety of crops, ensuring they grow healthy and yield well. By assessing and certifying seed health, farmers and agricultural professionals can prevent the spread of diseases that may affect plants and ultimately impact food supply. Adhering to these standards helps promote sustainable agriculture and protects ecosystems, contributing to higher productivity and food security.
