Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 587 - Agricultural Products and Seeds › SEEDS GENERALLY › Section 587.180 - Samples: Generally

Current through June 11, 2024
The procedure for sampling seeds set forth in this chapter must
				be followed for securing official samples and is recommended for all
				others:
1. In order to secure a
			 representative sample, equal portions must be taken from evenly distributed
			 parts of the quantity of seed or screenings to be sampled. Access must be had
			 to all parts of that quantity. When more than one trierful of seed is drawn
			 from a bag, different paths must be followed. When more than one handful is
			 taken from a bag, the handfuls must be taken from well separated
			 points.
2. For free flowing seed in
			 bags or bulk, a probe or trier must be used. For small free flowing seed in
			 bags, a probe or trier long enough to sample all portions of the bag should be
			 used.
3. Nonfree flowing seed, for
			 example, certain grass seed, uncleaned seed or screenings difficult to sample
			 with a probe or trier, must be sampled by thrusting the hand in 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			 the portion withdrawn.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 or screenings are sampled, each portion must be examined. If there appears
			 to be a lack of uniformity, the portions must not be combined into a composite
			 sample, but retained as separate samples or combined to form individual
			 container samples to determine such lack of uniformity as may exist.
5. When the portions appear to be uniform,

Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 587 - Agricultural Products and Seeds › SEEDS GENERALLY › Section 587.190 - Samples: Quantity and size

Current through June 11, 2024
1. Bulk seeds or
			 screenings must be sampled by inserting a long probe or thrusting the hand into
			 the bulk as circumstances require in at least seven uniformly distributed parts
			 of the quantity being sampled. At least as many trierfuls or handfuls must be
			 taken as the minimum which would be required for the same quantity of seed or
			 screenings in bags of a size customarily used for such seed or
			 screenings.
2. For lots of six bags
			 or less, each bag must be sampled. A total of at least five trierfuls must be
			 taken.
3. For lots of more than six
			 bags, five bags plus at least 10 percent of the number of bags in the lots must
			 be sampled. (Round off numbers with decimals to the nearest whole number
			 raising 0.5 to the next whole number.) Regardless of the lot size, it is not
			 necessary that more than 30 bags be sampled.
4. Samples must be drawn from previously
			 unopened bags except under circumstances where the identity of the seed has
			 been preserved.
5. In sampling seed
			 in small containers, it is not practical to sample as required in subsection 2.
			 A portion of one previously unopened container or one or more entire unopened
			 containers may be taken to supply a minimum sample as required in subsection
			 6.
6. The following are minimum
			 sizes of samples of agricultural seed, vegetable seed and screenings to be
			 submitted for analysis, test or examination:
(a) Two ounces of grass seed not otherwise
			 mentioned, white or alsike clover or seeds not larger than these.
(b) Five ounces of red or crimson clover,
			 alfalfa, lespedeza, ryegrass, bromegrass, millet, flax, rape or seeds of
			 similar size.
(c) One pound of
			 sudangrass sorghum proso hemp or seeds of similar size.
(d) Two pounds of cereals, vetch or seeds of
			 similar or larger size.
(e) Two
			 quarts of screenings.
(f) Vegetable
			 seed samples shall consist of at least 400 seeds.

			 of land history if a cultural practice is proven successful. As used in this
			 subsection, "cultural practice" includes mechanical means for preparation of a
			 seed bed, such as deep plowing, and chemical means, such as the use of
			 fumigants or other materials. The materials and method that are used must be
			 reported to the Department. The method used must be approved by the Department
			 and adequate to maintain varietal purity. To aid in distinguishing between
			 volunteers and the crop seeded, the seed must be planted in distinct rows but
			 the spacing of the rows may vary.
4. The time interval for land history must
			 not be less than the requirement stated in the Federal Seed Act, 7 C.F.R.
			 §§ 201 et seq., for the specified crop and appropriate certified
			 generation. A copy of the Federal Seed Act may be obtained by mail from the
			 Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, P.O. Box 979050,

			 may approve reseeding of a field but will not allow reseeding after a field has
			 produced a seed crop.

			 other contaminating amendments must not be applied the year before seeding or
			 during the established productive life of the stand.
