Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Agricultural Seeds. The common names listed in Section
					 3899, Schedule I (a), are
					 recognized as "commonly accepted" names for the purpose of labeling
					 agricultural seeds as required by Section
					 52452,
					 Food and Agricultural Code.
(b)
					 Vegetable Seeds. The common names listed in Section
					 3899, Schedule I (b), are
					 recognized as names of "kind" for the purpose of labeling vegetable seeds as
					 required by Section
					 52453,
					 Food and Agricultural Code. In addition to the "kind," the "variety" is
					 required to be stated on the label of vegetable seeds. If the variety is not
					 known, the label is construed to be in compliance with this provision if it
					 contains the words "unknown variety."
(c) Other Names. Any name of kind, type,
					 variety or strain, whether listed in Schedule I or not, is construed to comply
					 with the requirements of Sections
					 52452 and
					 52453, Food and Agricultural Code,
					 if its application to the seed so labeled is in fact in common usage in
					 California, unless such usage is misleading or confusing. Names or terms that
					 tend to create a false impression as to history or quality of the seed are
					 construed to be misleading.
(d)
					 Hybrid. The term "hybrid" applied to kinds or varieties of seed means the first
					 generation seed of a cross produced by controlling the pollination and by
					 combining (1) two or more inbred lines; (2) one inbred or a single cross with
					 an open-pollinated variety; or (3) two selected clones, see lines, varieties,
					 or species. "Controlling the pollination" means to use a method of
					 hybridization which will produce pure seed which is at least 75 percent hybrid
					 seed. Hybrid designations shall be treated as variety names.
Any kind or variety that is less than 95 percent but more
						than 75 percent hybrid seed as a result of incompletely controlled pollination
						in a cross shall be labeled to show (a) the percentage that is hybrid seed or
						(b) a statement such as "contains from 75 percent to 95 percent hybrid
						seed."

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Procedure. The following procedure shall be followed for securing official
					 samples and is recommended for all other samples:
(1) General.
(A) Approximately equal portions shall be
					 taken from fairly 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 container, each successive trierful shall be
					 from evenly separated parts of the container. When more than one handful is
					 taken from a container the handfuls shall be taken from well-separated
					 parts.
(B) For free-flowing seed in
					 bags or bulk, a probe or trier long enough to sample any portion of the bag
					 shall be used.
(C) 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. Protective gloves shall be worn when
					 sampling treated seed.
(D) As the
					 seed is sampled, each portion shall be examined and if there appears to be a
					 lack of uniformity, the portions shall not be combined but shall be retained as
					 separate samples to determine such lack of uniformity as may exist.
(E) When the portions appear to be uniform,
					 they shall be combined to form a composite sample.
(F) If a sealed container is opened or probed
					 for inspection, the inspector shall reseal the container with a suitable seal
					 indicating the purpose for which the container was opened.
(G) If a label is removed, the inspector
					 shall affix to the container a tag on which the label statements have been
					 copied.

(b) All other samples may be placed in any
					 suitable nonsealed container, and forwarded to the State Seed Laboratory,
					 Laboratory Services, California Department of Food and Agriculture, 1220 N
