seed varietal purity

Seed varietal purity refers to the degree to which a seed lot contains only one specific variety or type of plant, without contamination from other varieties. High purity ensures the seeds will produce plants that closely match the desired characteristics, such as size, flavor, or resistance traits. Maintaining seed purity is crucial for consistent crop production, quality control, and expected performance. It involves careful selection, handling, and testing to prevent unintentional mixing, ensuring farmers and growers receive reliable, true-to-type seeds for optimal results.
