Dear Seed Industry Stakeholder:

he Division of Regulatory Services is part of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station and is charged with administering the Kentucky Seed Law and Regulations. The Kentucky Seed Law is a “truth-in-labeling” law requiring basic labeling of seed components and quality factors to inform producers and consumers about the attributes of seed lots offered for sale in Kentucky. The seed program is comprised of the seed regulatory program and the seed service testing program at Regulatory Services.

Our regulatory program protects the seed industry and consumers through inspection, sampling and analysis of seed products in Kentucky. Our division’s inspection staff monitors seed by visiting distribution outlets throughout the state. These trained professionals review seed labeling and obtain official samples which are analyzed in the seed laboratory operated by the seed service testing program. Laboratory analyses of official samples are evaluated to determine if label guarantees and seed quality standards are met. Our office is a member of the Association of Seed Control Officials (AASCO) and regularly cooperates with the USDA-AMS Seed Testing and Regulatory Branch on matters relating to interstate commerce and the Federal Seed Act.

The Service testing program operates the only seed service testing facility in Kentucky. The lab is an Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) member laboratory. In addition to conducting analyses for the seed regulatory program, the seed lab provides analytical services for a wide range of seed industry stakeholders including seed producers, researchers, farmers, and gardeners.

The Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station’s annual Seed Inspection Report provides results of the examination, analysis and tests of seed distributed and sampled in our state. It is intended to be useful to individuals interested in evaluation the quality of seeds distributed in Kentucky. The report represents the commitment of the staff at Regulatory Services to provide consumer protection and service related to Kentucky’s seed industry. Respectfully submitted,

Stephen McMurry Director, Fertilizer & Seed Program

INSPECTION SUMMARY BY LABELER

Advanced Turf Solutions - Florence, Florence, KY (000344)

Types of Violations

Amturf Enterprises, LLC, Jefferson, OR (00035A)

Seed lots are mislabeled when they are found to be out of tolerance of the labeled guarantees. Tolerances applied are those established in

the “Rules for Testing Seeds” published by the Association of Official Seed Analysts. All official Kentucky samples are tested in accordance

with the methods prescribed in the “Rules for Testing Seeds” as required by Kentucky Administrative Regulation 12 KAR 1:116, under the

provisions of the Kentucky Seed Law (KRS 250.021‐250.111).

INSPECTION SUMMARY BY LABELER is the list of the number of samples taken during the year for each seed labeler. The summary provides

the name of the seed labeler responsible for the guarantees of the seed lot, the number of samples obtained, the number of samples which

passed within tolerance of laboratory testing, and the number of samples that were mislabeled. The mislabeled samples are further

summarized under the type of violation section of the table.

VIOLATION DETAIL is a listing of samples taken during the year that were found to be mislabeled after laboratory analysis. The

information provided includes the name of the seedsman responsible for the guarantees of the seed lot, lot number, name of the

retail location where the sample was obtained, the component which was mislabeled, the claimed label guarantee, and the value

found to be present by laboratory analysis.

Some seed lots were found to be out of tolerance for the germination guarantee. The germination percentage is expressed as total

viable (germination plus any hard and/or dormant seed). Agricultural seed must have a minimum total viable of 60 percent to be

sold in Kentucky.

Most seed lots found to be out of tolerance with the seed analysis tag guarantee may be relabeled and offered for sale after a

proper release from the stop sale order has been obtained. However, a release from a stop sale order for purposes of relabeling

and offering for sale cannot be obtained for seed lots with a total germination below 60 percent for agricultural seed, seed lots that

contain excess noxious or prohibited noxious weeds, and seed lots which contain in excess of two percent weed seed. These lots

can be released for purposes of removal from the Kentucky marketplace.

FIELD ISSUED STOP SALE SUMMARY

FIELD ISSUED STOP SALE SUMMARY is a listing of seed lots found to be in violation of the Kentucky Seed Law during routine

inspections of seed located in retail and wholesale locations throughout Kentucky. All seed lots included in this listing were placed

under a stop sale order and removed from the sales floor at the retail location. Seed lots under a stop sale order cannot legally be

offered for sale until the noted violation has been corrected and a release from the order has been obtained from the Division of

Regulatory Services.

This listing details both the wholesaler name and the retailer location. Examination of the information reveals that a very large

majority of the noted violations involved an offer to sell expired test date seed. The retailer is responsible for maintenance of the

germination test date of the seed lot. The seed retailer is in violation of the provisions of the Kentucky Seed Law if the retailer offers

for sale a seed lot with an expired germination test date.
