Seeds

The Seed Section is responsible for the administration of the Seeds Act and Regulations, Parts I, III and IV to help to ensure that seeds sold in, imported into and exported from Canada meet established standards for quality, including varietal purity and germination, and are labelled so that they are properly represented in the marketplace, and in the case of most agricultural crop varieties, are registered prior to sale in Canada.  The Seed Section is the Registrar for both variety registration and registered seed establishment programs.
