[FN1]1 Purity Analysis requires a minimum sample of 30,000 seed units and includes California Noxious Weed Seed examination. Samples submitted not meeting the minimum shall not be run. For the minimum weight for a kind of seed, contact the California Seed Laboratory prior to submitting a sample for testing.
[FN2]2 Germination or Tetrazolium test requires a minimum sample of 1,000 seed units. Samples submitted not meeting the minimum shall not be run. For the minimum weight for a kind of seed, contact the California Seed Laboratory prior to submitting a sample for testing.
For germination tests of mixtures of two or more kinds of lawn or pasture seed, which require a purity separation before a germination test is made, the fee will include a purity analysis report if specifically requested.
For germination tests of mixtures of two or more kinds of lawn or pasture seed or all other kinds, the fee will be the sum of the fees established for germination tests of the several components. For a purity analysis of such mixtures, the fee is the same as for that component of the mixture for which the highest charge would be made if analyzed separately. The minimum fee for any mixture will be $60.00.
