BAGGING

 

The processed seed is packed straight away in the new containers in which it is ultimately sold or it may be held temporarily in large containers awaiting seed treatment and receipt of seed analysis report.  

 

In any case, the container in which seed is finally offered for certification shall be of the size, shape, texture, colour, design, quality, type and material convenient to the producer except that it should be amenable to tagging and its quality should be appropriate for the moisture content of the seed.  

 

The producer can display information on the container in the manner suited to him.  The Seed Certification authority will verify that information.  On one side of the container the emblem and details as prescribed by the department, may be printed

 

Seed producers should print TCS emblem besides crop, variety, lot number on the containers.  

 

For stitching or closing the seed container, bag closer machines should be used.  Hand stitching is not allowed.   

 

The unit of packing should be the seed rate of half or one acre or one hectare
