Seed Multiplication Hierarchy
Seeds are produced in a systematic multiplication chain to maintain genetic purity. The standard hierarchy is:
- Breeder Seed: The purest form, produced by the original plant breeder.
- Foundation Seed: Produced directly from breeder seed.
- (Optional) Registered Seed: Produced from foundation seed.
- Certified Seed: Produced from foundation or registered seed.
