Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 587.434

Current through September 16, 2024

1. If a planting is treated or contaminated with a chemical that causes seed-borne injury to seed potatoes, the Department may:

(a) Withhold certification pending the outcome of a postharvest test; or

(b) Refuse to certify a planting or portion of a planting.

2. If the Department determines that a planting may have suffered chemical damage, the Department will:

(a) Collect a separate sample from the planting that may have suffered chemical damage to conduct a postharvest test; and

(b) Withhold certification until the postharvest test is complete.

3. If a portion of a planting does not show enough chemical injury to prevent or interfere with an inspection of the planting but is contaminated to a degree that seed-borne chemical injury may occur in the next planting, the contaminated portion of the planting must be harvested and stored separately from the noncontaminated portion of the planting.
