Isolation With the exception of triticale - production areas must be separated from other cereals by at least a two (2) metre strip (free of any cereal plants) or a physical barrier such as a fence to prevent any mixture of seed during harvest. Triticale (mainly self-pollinating cultivars) Basic: Certified: 50 metres from other cultivars 20 metres from other cultivars Triticale (cross-pollinating cultivars) Basic: Certified: Inspections Pre-harvest inspection Classes 300 metres from other cultivars 250 metres from other cultivars C1: from crops sown with Basic seed C2: from crops sown with C1 seed Crop Standards Cultivar and Species purity: Maximum allowed in: Contaminant Basic Certified Other off-types or cultivars of the cereal species certified For wheat, barley, oats & triticale (mainly self-pollinating cultivars) 1:1000 3:1000 For triticale (cross-pollinating cultivars) 1 per 30 m² 1 per 10 m² Other cereals (inseparable*) in the above species nil 1:2000 * Inseparable other cereals shall include crop plants, the seed of which cannot be thoroughly removed by the usual methods of seed processing from the crop seed being grown. For example, barley in wheat or vice versa or wheat and barley in oats, etc. Seed Quality Standards Minimum pure seed (% by mass) 98% Minimum germination (% by count) 85% Maximum other seeds (number per kg) 15 (including nominated seeds) Nominated seeds: maximum levels for acceptance other cereal species (no./kg) 1 other pulses (no./kg) 3 wild oats (no./kg) 2 ryegrass & phalaris (total no./kg) 5 vetch - all species (no./kg) 3 Procedures and Standards for Seed Certification May 2002
