Seed for sowing is a fundamental resource for agriculture, forestry and areas of environmental management. Seed Services Australia provide a range of professional seed-related services to South Australia, interstate and overseas clients. These services include:

• Seed certification – programs for maintaining genetic identity of plant cultivars during multiplication from generation to generation.
• Seed testing to assess aspects of seed quality that determine the planting value of seed
• Providing official documentation and assistance to enable specific export market access
• Training in seed-related areas
• Specialist technical information on seed-related topics

We have a long history in agriculture agencies of the SA Government with the initiation of seed testing in 1917, and seed certification in 1939.
