Current through June 11, 2024
1. Land intended
			 for the production of foundation, registered or certified classes of seed must
			 not have been planted with any variety of alfalfa and must be free from
			 volunteer alfalfa plants for 4 years, 3 years and 1 year, respectively,
			 preceding the establishment of the stand.
2. The application must indicate the crops
			 grown for the previous 4 years, 3 years and 1 year on the land intended for the
			 production of the foundation, registered or certified classes of seed,
			 respectively.
3. At least 2 years
			 must elapse between the destruction of varieties of dissimilar adaptation and
			 establishment of a new stand for the production of seed for
			 certification.
4. During the year
			 immediately preceding the seeding of any class of seed, the land must be free
			 from volunteer plants. Manure or other amendments to the soil that are
			 contaminating must not be applied during the year immediately preceding the
			 seeding of the land or during the established and productive life of the

Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 587 - Agricultural Products and Seeds › STANDARDS FOR CERTIFICATION OF ALFALFA SEED › Section 587.263 - Requirements for isolation

Current through June 11, 2024
1. Except as
			 otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, the minimum distance a field of
			 alfalfa must be from a different variety or a field of the same variety of
			 alfalfa that does not meet the requirements for varietal purity for
			 certification is:
Class Produced
Field of Less Than 5 Acres
Field of 5 Acres or More
Foundation
900 feet
600 feet
Registered
450 feet
300 feet
Certified
165 feet
165 feet
2.
			 Requirements for isolation for the certified class are based on the size of the
			 field and the percentage of the field within 165 feet from another variety of
			 alfalfa. If 10 percent or less of the certified field is within 165 feet, no
			 isolation is required, but a definite separation must be maintained. If more
			 than 10 percent of the field is within 165 feet, that part of the field must
			 not be harvested as certified seed. The zone of isolation is calculated by
			 multiplying the length of the common border with other varieties of alfalfa by
			 the average width of the certified alfalfa field falling within the requirement
			 of a distance of 165 feet isolation.
3. The distance of isolation between classes
			 of the same variety may be reduced to 10 feet, regardless of the class or size
			 of a field.
4. If a portion of a
			 field meets the requirements for isolation, a clear line of demarcation must be
			 established between the certified and noncertified portions of the
			 field.

			 certification of grass seed.
2. All
			 classes of certified seed may be produced from planting stock which was
			 vegetatively propagated according to the procedure specified by the originator,
			 but in such cases the standards for the vegetative propagation of grasses
			 apply.

			 for isolation may be reduced to 25 percent of that shown in the table in
			 subsection 1. The minimum isolation for all seed classes of tetraploids is at

			 to be certified is completed. The distance is the minimum isolation required
			 for each class of seed after border removal.
4. For the purposes of this section,
			 varieties within species with both cross-pollinated and apomictic type of
			 reproduction are considered highly apomictic for minimum isolation unless
			 otherwise specified for that variety.
