Seed Identification Key
Seed testing laboratories worldwide analyse samples for quarantine assessment to prevent the entry of prohibited and restricted seeds. Current practices of identifying seeds by comparing an unknown seed with samples of known seeds or photographs of seeds are time consuming, costly and inefficient. A Seed Identification Key using a computerised database has been developed to identify seeds prohibited/restricted by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service. There are currently over 120 prohibited/restricted seeds in the database. The Key will be helpful to quarantine officers as well as seed analysts working in seed testing laboratories. It can also be used as an educational tool by agricultural scientists, students and others interested in seeds.
