Seed Legislation and Law Enforcement

  • Chapter
Principles of Seed Science and Technology

Abstract

Seed laws are designed to aid in the orderly marketing of seed. They establish regulations governing the sale of seed, thereby providing legal protection to both buyers and sellers. No country can expect to have a well-developed, effective seed industry without seed control regulations. In the United States, seed legislation exists at both the state and federal levels.

Thou shalt not sow thy fields with mingled see —(Lev. 19:19)
