  Section 16-302-690. Chickpea standards for seed certification.  

Latest version.
  • Land, isolation, and field standards for chickpea seed certification are:
    FIELD STANDARDS
    (a)
    Shall not have been planted to chickpeas for three years for foundation class, and two years for registered and certified class, unless the previous crop is of the same variety and passes certification field standards of the same or higher generation.
    (b)
    Inseparable other crops.
    (c)
    Prohibited, restricted, and other weeds difficult to separate must be controlled.
    (d)
    None found in all classes of nontolerant varieties. Planting seedstock must be treated with Thiabendazole (2-(4-thiazolyl) benzimidazole.
    (e)
    Reduce to three feet from fields producing a certified class of the same variety. In addition, each chickpea field for certification must be isolated by three feet from small grain fields. To prevent mechanical field mixing of swathed chickpea seed crop, the planting of small grain between fields, except for three feet of isolation, is recommended.
    FIELD INSPECTION
    Foundation and registered class fields must have two field inspections: One at bloom stage and one at late pod stage. Certified class fields must be inspected at bloom stage plus another at pod stage if ascochyta blight is observed during the bloom stage inspection.
    SEED STANDARDS
    (a)
    None found for Austrian pea, rye, or vetch.
    (b)
    None found for nightshade berries or prohibited noxious weed seeds.
    (c)
    All classes must be treated with Thiabendazole (2-(4-thiazolyl) benzimidazole at the labeled rate).
