Seed Quality And Cleaning Urged For 1978 Crops
Farmers are urged to prepare clean seed for 1978, citing the Manitoba Seed Grain Survey 1976 showing 43 percent of seed labeled Rejected due to weed seeds and other crops. Certified bulk seed remains underutilized, with many farmers using bin run grain or neighbor-sourced seed. Cleaning seed at reputable plants greatly reduces Rejected grades, while elevator and farm cleaning perform worse. Plant Products Division offers germination and weed seed testing to avoid contaminated seed, and warns of new Loose Smut races attacking resistant varieties. Contact details provided.
