Does ISTA have seed quality standards like seed certification programs?
No. Programs like Seed Certification have seed standards. In contrast, ISTA does not have seed quality standards as to minimum purity or germination requirements. What purity or germination levels are needed depends on your customers’ needs. What ISTA does is to make sure that the test report is reliable and performed by a laboratory that has proven to be competent and authorized to perform such services.
