N.J. Admin. Code § 2:16-2.15

Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025

Section 2:16-2.15 - Substandard seed in emergencies

(a) The Department recognizes that in an emergency, such as unfavorable weather conditions, seed necessary for the production of a crop could be lost if regular certification standards were strictly enforced. Therefore, under such circumstances, seed failing to meet certification standards other than those affecting genetic purity may be certified, provided there is no injury to the reputation of certified seed.

(b) The certification tags or labels attached to such seed in (a) above shall show clearly the respects in which the seed does not meet the regular certification standards.
