適用範囲

This standard applies to the production and sale of cereal food crop seeds in China, specifically covering rice, maize, wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, sorghum, foxtail millet, and broomcorn millet. It is mandatory for all commercial seed producers and distributors operating within the Chinese agricultural market. It establishes the minimum quality commitments required by the Seed Law of the People's Republic of China.

技術要求

This standard specifies the minimum quality requirements for various cereal seeds, categorized by seed classes such as basic seed and qualified seed. The core technical parameters are divided into four main categories: variety purity, cleanliness (netness), germination rate, and moisture content. For specific crops like maize, the standard introduces new parameters for genetically modified varieties, requiring verification of transgene authenticity and specific trait purity (e.g., herbicide tolerance and insect resistance). Manufacturers must ensure their seeds meet these minimum thresholds to be legally sold. Additionally, the standard includes specific geographical exceptions for moisture content limits. For instance, seeds sold in regions north of the Great Wall or in high-altitude cold areas are permitted to have higher moisture content, provided they do not exceed a defined maximum limit. These regional nuances are critical for compliance when distributing seeds across different Chinese provinces.

試験方法

The standard mandates specific testing procedures to verify compliance, referencing the GB/T 3543 series for agricultural seed testing. Key evaluations include purity analysis (GB/T 3543.3), germination tests (GB/T 3543.4), and moisture determination (GB/T 3543.6). For genetically modified maize, testing for transgene authenticity and purity must be conducted according to GB/T 3543.12. Seed lot sampling must strictly follow the procedures outlined in GB/T 3543.2 to ensure representative testing.

よくある質問
