				Illinois noxious weed seed examination, the germination test, and the noxious
				weed seed test.
a) Samples for seed
			 testing shall be tested in the order of receipt during the period between July
			 1 to June 30 of each year and charges made in accordance with the fee schedule
			 established under Section
			 230.80.
b) Fee charges for each seed sample submitted
			 for purity analysis shall be as follows:
1)
			 $5.00 each for timothy, clovers, alfalfas, cereal grains, vetch, oil seed
			 crops, such as soybeans, rape, sunflowers and such other oil seed crops, and
			 sudangrass.
2) $6.00 each for
			 redtop, bluegrasses, bentgrasses, smooth brome, ryegrass, fescues, and native
			 grasses (see Section

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 230 - ILLINOIS SEED LAW › Section 230.90 - Sampling in the Administration of the Act

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) General Procedure.
1) In order to secure a representative
			 sample, equal portions shall be taken from evenly distributed parts of the
			 quantity of seed to be sampled. Access shall be had to all parts of that
			 quantity. When more than one trierful of seed is drawn from a bag, different
			 paths shall be followed. When more than one handful shall be taken from a bag,
			 the handfuls shall be taken from well-separated points.
2) Free-flowing seed.
A) For free-flowing seed in bags or bulk, a
			 probe or trier shall be used.
B)
			 For small free-flowing seed in bags a probe or trier long enough to sample all
			 portions of the bag should be used.
3) Non-free flowing seed, such as certain
			 grass seed or uncleaned seed, difficult to sample with a probe or trier, shall
			 be sampled by thrusting the hand into the bulk and withdrawing representative
			 portions. The hand is inserted in an open position and the fingers are held
			 closely together while the hand is being inserted and the portion
			 withdrawn.
4) As the seed is
			 sampled, each portion shall be examined. If there appears to be lack of
			 uniformity, the portions shall not be combined into a composite sample but
			 shall be retained as separate samples or combined as to form
			 individual-container samples to determine such lack of uniformity as may
			 exist.
5) When the portions appear
			 to be uniform, they shall be combined to form a composite sample.

			 substance or a description of any process (other than application of a
			 substance) used in such treatment in accordance with this rule; for example:
Treated with
(Name of substance or process)
or
treated
(Name of substance or process)
2) If
			 the substance used in such treatment in the amount remaining with the seed is
			 harmful to humans or other vertebrate animals, the seed shall also bear a label
			 containing additional statements as required by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
			 rule. The label shall contain the required information in any form that is
			 clearly legible and complies with the Act and its rules. The information may be
			 on the analysis tag, or label, or on a separate tag, or it may be printed in a
			 conspicuous manner on a side or top of the container.
