Seed Testing In South Dakota

A public seed testing laboratory is maintained by SDSU to test seed samples for farmers, seedsmen, SD Crop Improvement Assoc., and the SD State Dept. of Agriculture. The lab is equipped with modern testing equipment necessary to perform tests on all kinds of agricultural crops, vegetables, trees, and flower seed. It is staffed with experienced, technically trained analysts and part-time assistants who work under constant supervision. All analyses performed by the lab are made according to the Rules For Testing Seeds published by the Assoc. of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA). The report issued by the lab is an official test of the sample submitted.
