Seed Multiplication Hierarchy

Seeds are produced in a systematic multiplication chain to maintain genetic purity. The standard hierarchy is:

  1. Breeder Seed: The purest form, produced by the original plant breeder.
  2. Foundation Seed: Produced directly from breeder seed.
  3. (Optional) Registered Seed: Produced from foundation seed.
  4. Certified Seed: Produced from foundation or registered seed.

Foundation Seed Lineage

Foundation seed is a direct descendant generation derived from breeder seed. Breeder seed acts as the parent material ensuring the genetic integrity required for the foundation class.
