Management Considerations for Seed Quality

This is the third webinar in the series "Practical Training for On-farm and Collaborative Plant Breeding", which was presented on January 24, 2023. Presenters were Daniel Egel, Purdue University, Erica Kempter, Nature & Nurture Seeds, Jenn Cava, University of Wisconsin Madison and Michael Lordon, Organic Seed Alliance.
Participants will deepen their understanding of seed-borne diseases and techniques for control. This webinar will include resources and protocols for seed testing in public and private labs, organic-approved seed sanitation procedures, and seed treatment options using hot water or steam. Experts on seed pathology will be presenters and review content. This will be especially relevant to the Upper Midwest, since cold springs and humid summers present challenges in organic seed production.
