Seed Quality Assurance refers to the systematic process of ensuring that seeds meet specific standards for quality and performance. This involves testing seeds for factors such as germination rates, purity, and health. By adhering to these standards, farmers and agricultural businesses can ensure that they are using seeds that will produce healthy crops. The process often includes inspections and certifications by organizations like the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA). These organizations help maintain the integrity of seed production and distribution, ultimately supporting sustainable agriculture and food security.
