Quality Assurance

Iowa Crop Improvement Association’s Quality Assurance (QA) program provides a uniform, unbiased system for producing and marketing seed. This program can assure that your seed is of known varietal purity and germination by undergoing the following:

• Field inspection for other crops, weeds and varietal purity.
• Representative sampling of each seed lot.
• Laboratory evaluation of each seed lot for germination, pure seed, noxious weeds and varietal purity.
• Tagging with analysis information.
• Tagging with QA label or logo.
• Post season grow-out evaluation.

Look for the green QA tag or logo on seed that has been through the QA process. Contact us if you would like more information on ICIA’s Quality Assurance program.
