So What is Seed Testing?
It's really as simple as it sounds. You take a sample of your seed, you give it to us, and we test it. Then we give you valuable information about your seed. We can tell you about the purity of your seed, how well it will grow under stress, how well it will germinate, what diseases are present in the seed, and much, much more.

Why Test Seed?
Testing tells you a lot about the quality of the seed you are using. The better the seed, the better chance of increased profits. Testing can help you avoid costly seed borne diseases, and it can even help you decide how much seed you need to plant per acre. Seed testing gives you more knowledge, and the more knowledge you have, the better your decisions and overall operations will be.

How it Works
Our seed testing is done according to CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) methods and procedures, unless otherwise specified. By using strict standards we produce results that are accurate and repeatable, while still providing a quick turnaround time, the likes of which growers have never seen.
