Variety Committee
Rapid chemical identification techniques may be defined as testing procedures that utilize specific treatments, such as ultra-violet light or chemicals, to reveal chemical differences among seeds or seedlings of different varieties.
This handbook is made up of 22 pages, 4 illustrations and 1 test reference table.
These tests require virtually no technical expertise or training and can be completed in a relatively short time. They are inexpensive to conduct and require no sophisticated or expensive equipment. The results of these tests are usually distinct and easily interpreted. This kind of variety tests can be conducted easily in every ISTA laboratory.
