Dear Colleague
ISTA Seed Health Committee Official Method Review
The Seed Health Method Validation Programme requires that methods approved as Official Methods should be reviewed every 5 years to ensure their continuing effectiveness and suitability. Official Seed Health Testing Methods are found in the International Rules for Seed Testing 2013. There is currently one ISTA Official Seed Health Testing Methods that is now due for review (listed in Table 1). This is the first review for Method 7-025. The ISTA Seed Health Committee (SHC) would like to receive your feedback on the current Method Sheet as part of the review process.
Table 1. The one ISTA Official Seed Health Testing Method to be reviewed in 2013
To help us we would be pleased if you could complete the online questionnaire by 15 October 2013.

YOUR HELP WITH THIS REVIEW IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
Please feel free to ignore this message, if your lab does not conduct any seed health test.
With best wishes
