BOOK YOUR SEED INSPECTION WITH HCPSL NOW !
Grower seed inspections, including RSD sampling, will commence on 18th of February and continue until 2nd of May.
After the 2nd of May seed inspections and RSD sampling will be limited by staff availability.
We strongly urge growers to secure a booking early!
To make a booking growers will be required to contact or drop into the office and provide details of the blocks they wish to sample. This information is important as it allows staff to prepare the equipment required and conduct their sampling efficiently. Once a booking is made, a staff member will follow up with a phone call to arrange a suitable time and day.
Important Information;
- HCPSL will be using the QCPR LSB (Leath Sheath Biopsy) method.
- Seed cane must be at least seven (7) months old
- Once samples are collected, results may take up to 3 weeks (typically 2 weeks)
- 1 test per 20 hectares = no charge for HCPSL members (otherwise $10 per samples).
