Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Isolation requirements for the production of white clover
						and trefoil seed crop are as follows:
(1) White clover or trefoil fields for
					 certification must be isolated from all other fields of the same variety not
					 meeting varietal purity requirements for certification as follows:
Class Being
Produced
Fields less than five acres
Fields five acres or more
Foundation
900 feet
600 feet
Registered
450 feet
300 feet
Certified
165 feet*
165 feet
*330 feet required for trefoil.
(2) Isolation between different classes
					 (generations) of the same variety of white clover or trefoil is as follows:
Class Being Produced
Distance Required from Fields Planted
									 with:
Fields less than five acres
Fields five acres or more
Foundation

(3) In cases where an adjoining field is
					 planted with a different variety, or of a lower class, isolation may be
					 obtained by measuring off the required strip in the certified seed field. This
					 isolation strip may be mowed for hay or it may be harvested for uncertified
					 seed under the following conditions:
(a) The
					 grower must apply for certification of the entire white clover or trefoil field
					 and clearly stake off the isolation strip. The entire field must pass all
					 certification requirements, except for isolation, at time of inspection. The
					 field report will show rejection due to lack of isolation.
(b) The grower must harvest and deliver to a
					 department approved conditioning plant the seed from the certified portion of
					 the field separately from the seed from the isolation strip. After the seed is
					 weighed and lotted in the weight of the seed from the isolation strip is to be
					 reported to the seed program. At this time the seed program records will
					 indicate the field has passed certification.

						(garbanzo bean) - When seed crop is mature enough to differentiate leaf type
						(compound or simple leaf type), with a second inspection occurring between full
						bloom and late pod stage for registered and foundation class. Certified class
						may be subject to a second inspection at the discretion of the certifying
						agency at late pod stage if ascochyta blight is observed during the first

						fungicide;

						crop is in full bloom, and optionally again when seed crop begins to show
						mature color;

						sorghum - Two inspections during bloom and one inspection after seed begins to
						show mature color;

						grains - When seed crop is fully headed and of mature color;
