Résumé

These Regulations prescribe potato seed to be seed to which the Plant Variety and Seeds Act applies. No potato shall be sold as seed unless it has been certified by the Controller of Seeds in accordance with these Regulations. No potato seed shall be certified under these Regulations unless it has been produced and inspected, and attains the standards, as herein provided. Only a subdivision of any species which can be distinguished from other subdivisions of that species by means of growth, plant, fruit or other characteristics (“cultivars”) which have been approved by the Controller of Seeds shall be eligible for certification. An application for registration as a grower of potato seed shall be made in accordance with Part VIII of the Act. The grower shall plant the class of seed appropriate for his production; and shall retain such evidence of that class as may be sufficient to satisfy the Certifying Authority in that behalf. An inspector carrying out a field inspection shall reject a crop for certification if conditions set out in regulation are fulfilled. Potato seeds shall be graded in three sizes in accordance with the specifications set out in regulation 9. Other provisions concern pest control and labelling and storing of potato seed.
