Providing Top Quality Seed is What United Seeds has Been Known For.
With the help of the National Turf Evaluation Program, ( NTEP ) we literally sift through hundreds of varieties that will ultimately meet the needs of our customers. Varieties that we select must perform well in our area to be even considered for use in our mixes and blends.
Two areas of seed quality that we look at are:
-
Genetic - What can be seen, or the inherent aspects of the seed.
-
Generic - What can be measured. The physical attributes of the seed.
Genetic qualities that we look for in cultivar selection are:
- Disease Resistance
- Spring Greenup
- Wear Tolerance
- Insect Resistance
- Frost Tolerance
- Drought Tolerance
- Seedling Vigor
- Density
- Color
Generic qualities include:
- Purity
- Germination
- Inert Amount
- Weed Content, if any
- Noxious Weeds, if any
- Other Crop Seeds, if any
Blue Tag Seed Certification
United Seeds is an approved conditioner to recieve selected varieties from our grower/suppliers, mix or blend them in our facilities and blue tag them.
Blue tag certification is granted by the Nebraska Crop Improvement Association.

This "extra" step of Blue Tag Certifying guarantees that you are getting the seed that you are paying for.
