Seed Potato Certification
EXAMINATION of reports on field inspection of potat( crops for seed certification in the 1947-48 season i: now completed and information about crops which have been' provisionally certified may be obtained from loca offices of the Department of Agriculture. The fact that a crop has been provisionally certifiec does not mean that the produce from it will automatically be regarded as Certified seed. The graded tubers mus
first be inspected by a Departmental officer to determine ■ that the produce complies with the necessary standards of freedom from tuber-borne diseases and is in other respects also reasonably well graded. > Certification tags are issued for attachment to sacks of . seed potatoes which have passed this tuber inspection, but before these can be regarded as valid the guarantee on the reverse side of the tag must be signed by the person in whose name the crop from which the produce was obtained was provisionally certified.
