Buy seeds, experts pay five points

"Agriculture-based country, agriculture and planting first." The spring and summer broadcast season is approaching, and farmers’ friends can buy the seeds for relief. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed the experts of the city’s seed management station. Experts believe that agricultural development depends on many factors, but the most important one is the seeds. To harvest bumper crops in agriculture, the key is to select good varieties, select good seed production enterprises, select good seed business units, choose good packaging, ask for invoices, and ensure that you buy seeds with confidence.

Selected varieties. First, select the approved varieties (excluding vegetable seeds); Second, select the varieties recommended by the local agricultural department; Third, look at the description of the varieties on the package, select the appropriate disease resistance, insect resistance, and lodging resistance suitable for planting in the region. Variety. The key to quality lies in the seed itself. The rest is centered on the quality of the seed itself. What are the aspects of seed quality? Thousand-grain weight of seeds, purity of seed purity, germination rate of seeds, etc. are all important signs of seed quality. So how can we conclude that seeds are good varieties? The 1000-grain weight of seeds can be determined by a seed counting instrument. That is, the number of seeds is first counted by an electronic automatic counting instrument, and then the number of seeds that are counted out is weighed to obtain a thousand-grain weight of seeds. The seed's clarity can be passed through the seed clarity wind analyzer. Seed germination rate can be through the seed germination box and seed counting instrument.

Select seed production enterprises. We must pick seeds that are produced by seed companies with good reputation, strong strength, and “seed production license”. The quality of seed produced by such seed companies is guaranteed. If there is a problem with seed quality, relatively speaking, there is economic strength to compensate or compensate farmers who have suffered losses.

Select seed business units. First, we must select the seed of the “seed business license” for business operations. Second, we must select large-scale, business-licensed seeds to operate stores, and do not buy the seeds of unlicensed mobile vendors. In particular, do not try to buy bulk seeds without any guarantee.

Choose the package. To choose a regular package, externally labeled seeds. The content to be marked on the external label includes: crop type, seed type, species name, origin, license number, quality index, net content, production year, manufacturer name, production address and contact information, warning sign (coating seed ), "Transgenic" (transgenic seeds). Quality indicators include: seed germination, purity, clarity, moisture. It is necessary to carefully identify whether the anti-counterfeit labels are authentic or not.

Ask for an invoice. The purchase of seeds must require credit cards and purchase invoices, and be properly kept for use in future seed quality disputes. When the number of species purchased is large, both parties must sign the samples. If there is a problem with the germination rate, a germination test should be conducted within 15 days after the seeds are purchased. If the germination rate is too low or other problems are found, promptly ask the seed sales unit to resolve the problem.

Experts said that if there are quality problems after sowing seeds, they should try to retain the relevant evidence and site, and photograph or video on site, and promptly ask the seed sales unit to negotiate and resolve, if necessary, apply for local identification of field seed management agencies for mediation. When the mediation is invalid, they can hold purchase invoices, credit cards, seed packaging, labels, and expert appraisal results. People's courts can conduct civil lawsuits and require the operators to compensate for economic losses.
