Seed Regulation

Seed regulation is the process by which governments set standards and rules to ensure that seeds sold for planting are healthy, true to type, and of good quality. It involves testing, certification, and labeling to prevent the spread of pests, diseases, or unwanted plant varieties. This helps farmers get reliable seeds that will grow as expected, supports agricultural productivity, and protects the environment. In essence, seed regulation ensures that seed quality is maintained and that consumers and producers can trust what they’re planting.
