CSD has just updated the intermediate seeds per kilo below. This season, CSD has also provided additional information highlighting the average seed quality of the intermediate (black, untreated) seed currently produced. CSD’s aim is to be transparent in the communication of these results. Please remember that these numbers are indicative and can and will vary on the final Auslots produced. CSD encourages growers to utilise the QR code located on the bag to receive the statement of seed analysis, which provides a more up to date assessment of seeds per kilo and seed quality to better fine tune the planting operation.
