March seed month boosts Canadian pedigreed seed costs
Canadian seed users face rising prices across seed varieties with pedigreed seed under Canada Seeds Act offering clearer variety identity and certified quality. Benefits include higher yields and better grain quality, while provinces publish crop guides to aid variety choices and ordering early from dealers to secure stock. Certified seed minimizes weed contamination and ensures cleaner, larger kernels and stronger seedlings, with variety traits tested for disease resistance and adaptation.
Quality seed urged for crops by Agriculture Canada expert
Wilf Bradnock of Agriculture Canada urges farmers to plan with pedigreed seed, highlighting cost savings on weed control and higher yields. The Canadian Seed Growers Association, active since 1904, issues variety purity certificates and promotes Canada’s seed standards to boost international reputation and domestic production.
