What is pedigreed seed?
Pedigreed seed is:
• Of a known variety
• Produced under strict certification standards
• Pure (varietal and mechanical)
• Free of noxious weeds
• Known germination

Why pedigree seed?
Breeding
• Pedigree system symbiotic with
research
• Introduces new varieties with new
specialty traits
![Page 9: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why pedigree seed?
Risk Management
• Providers of pedigreed seed support their
products (agronomic support)
• Required segregation and limited
generations preserve varietal purity
• Traceability programs

Who pedigrees seed crops in
Canada?
Canadian Seed Growers Association
![Page 13: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Seed Certification
• Certification authority from Seeds Act and Regulations
• Authority to regulate processors from the Canada Agricultural Products Act
• Official, third-party verification is vital to credibility
![Page 14: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CFIA is the national authority. Seed must:
• recognized variety
• multiplied according to strict process standards:
– varietal purity standards established by the CSGA
– physical purity, germination and disease standards prescribed by federal Seeds Regulations
![Page 15: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Production of Pedigreed Seed
• Pedigree of parent seed is verified
• Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection
• Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop that has been issued a crop certificate by the CSGA providing all standards have been met.
![Page 16: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Field Inspection
Verify:
– Previous land use restrictions
– Minimum isolation distances

CSGA
• Certifies ALL Canadian pedigreed agricultural seed crops (except potatoes)
• Government oversight at arms length (CFIA) except most pedigreed seed crops have been inspected by CFIA inspectors (changing!)
![Page 19: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

CSGA – more than certification?
Objectives:
• Ensure varietal purity of seed crops by maintaining the pedigree
• Encourage development and introduction of superior varieties
• Develop programs which expand the use of pedigreed seed (domestic and export)
![Page 22: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Objectives: (cont’d)
• Contribute to the establishment and maintenance of high quality standards for seed crops.
• Co-operate with other seed-related agencies (locally and abroad).
• Coordinate the seed quality management efforts of seed growers, plant breeders and commercial crop producers.
CSGA – more?
![Page 23: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to become a Pedigreed
Seed Producer? 1. Review CSGA’s Circular 6 to determine the
appropriate production field (based on land
use requirements for the particular crop kind)
2. Acquire Foundation or Registered seed
3. After planting, submit application to CSGA with
fees.
4. Roguing seed production field.

How Does a Farmer become a
Pedigreed Seed Producer?
5. Field crop inspection (presently by CFIA)
6. CSGA review of inspection report normally
resulting in issuance of CSGA Crop Certificate.
7. Harvest of seed crop / storage / sampling /
germination testing.
8. Conditioning / sampling / packaging of Seed

Why Canadian Pedigreed Seed
System is Effective?
![Page 33: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ALTERNATIVE SERVICE
DELIVERY (ASD) • Why?
– $?
– Mandate?
• How?
– Training and certification of private firms
• When?
– 2014
![Page 34: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Three delivery models are
available : 1st, 2nd, 3rd party • CFIA maintains responsibility for licensing
or authorizing the inspection provider and
retains the responsibility for assuring
training, licensing or certification and on-
going monitoring of the service providers’
inspectors.
• CSGA requirements for seed crop
certification would remain
![Page 35: Canadian Pedigreed Seed€¦ · •Pedigree of parent seed is verified •Crop must comply with the CSGA requirements via field inspection •Pedigreed seed is derived from a crop](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042419/5f36147a53e8f05c924c86d1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pros and cons
• Pros and cons generally relate to:
– Effectiveness
• degree of independence, perceived conflict of
interest, business risk
– Efficiency
• cost
• See hand-out and CSGA/CFIA websites
