Creation of high quality seed products begins with research, requires technical expertise and commitment to excellence. Auswest Seeds maintains regular contact with plant breeders and research institutes ensuring access to newly released plant varieties and trial results.
Those close alliances enable the production and marketing of only top quality seed. Production by Lachlan Valley Seeds is carried out under OECD regulations or through the company's own quality assurance program. Genetic purity of the product is guaranteed.
All parent seed purchased by Auswest Seeds must meet strict quality requirements. Stringent conditions also apply to Lachlan Valley Seeds production operations, with a Seed Production Agronomist employed to advise on all aspects of seed growing, ensuring efficiency and safety in their production methods.
The Auswest Seeds seed cleaning operation provides Lachlan Valley Seeds members fast access for harvested seed to be dried, cleaned, packaged and tested. This efficient operation also ensured fast access to domestic and export freight, while guaranteeing that best possible quality standards are maintained.
Seed cleaning staff are accredited with Government Departments including NSW Agriculture (NSWAG) and Australian Quarantine Inspection Service. Strict levels of plant cleanliness and processing are observed.
Seed Storage Conditions
Forbes is regarded as one of the world's best seed storage locations due to its relatively low variance in both mean temperature and humidity. This guarantees minimal deterioration in seed processed by Auswest Seeds. |
