Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

The term "certified", shall be amplified to include several categories that apply specifically to forest tree seed, seedlings and vegetatively propagated trees, as follows:

(1) "Certified tree seed, seedlings or clones (blue tag)" shall be either seed, plants grown from seed or plants vegetatively propagated from trees of proven genetic superiority, and produced so as to assure genetic identity.

(2) "Selected tree seed, seedlings or clones (green tag)" shall be seed, plants grown from seed or plants vegetatively propagated from untested but rigidly selected trees that have promise but not proof of genetic superiority, and produced so as to assure genetic identity.

(3) "Source-identified tree seed or seedlings (yellow tag)" shall be seed, or plants grown from a natural population or a plantation for which the geographic location and the genetic background are clearly defined, and produced so as to assure genetic identity. This does not apply to vegetative propagation.
