15. Seed Borne. Pest(s) that can be found on the seed or within the seed coat but do not necessarily result in the transfer of the pest to the resulting plant.

16. Seed Lot. A definite quantity of seed identified by a lot number, every portion or bag of which is uniform, within permitted tolerances, for factors that appear in the labeling.

17. Seed Transmitted. Pest(s) that can be transferred from the seed into the resulting plant.

18. Sprinkler Irrigation. An overhead water delivery system used to disperse irrigation water to crops in a designated pattern utilizing a pump, a network series of pipes and delivering water under a controlled pressure in a predetermined quantity.

19. Trial Grounds. Parcels of land or greenhouses set aside for the purpose of research testing, introduction, increases, or breeder nurseries.

20. True Identity of Seed Lot. True identity of seed lot is recorded using information provided by the applicant on the application for field inspection or on the detailed varietal planting plan and harvest records. The true identity of the seed lot is maintained by the Department after the applicant has finalized the harvest information and provided such to the Department.

21. Windrow Inspection. An inspection procedure performed on a seed crop prior to harvest but after the crop has been cut and allowed for curing or drying out.
