107.2 Classification and eligibility for inspection.
(a) Limited generation.
All certified seed shall be produced in a limited generation production scheme. Seed lots are limited to a maximum of six generations of propagation as follows:
| Class | Generation |
|---|---|
| Certified | G1 |
| Certified | G2 |
| Certified | G3 |
| Certified | G4 |
| Certified | G5 |
| Certified | G6 |
Generation numbers shall increase with years of production from the original seed source. Certified class seed shall be downgraded automatically one generation each year. The generation year for certified class seed shall be printed on tags by the certifying agency. When disease tolerances for certified class seed lots are exceeded, the lots shall be rejected for certification. Seed lots shall originate from in vitro culture in which all plantlets have tested free from potato viruses A, M, S, X, Y, (all may cause the mosaic disease) and leaf roll; Potato Spindle tuber viroid; Corynebacterium sepedonicum (causes the ring rot disease); and Erwinia carotovora (causes the soft rot and black leg diseases). Propagation of seed lots from the Uihlein Farm at Cornell University or equivalent sources shall be limited to six years with a Generation 5 (G5) lot originating from outside New York State being the last generation eligible for planting. A three year exemption shall be permitted at the discretion of the certifying agency for numbered selections from breeding programs or for named varieties for which pathogen-tested seed lots do not exist or are not available.
(b) Certified-Uihlein Generation 1.
Seed obtained directly from the Uihlein Farm of Cornell University will be eligible for planting.
(c) Certified-Uihlein Generation 2.
Seed one year removed from the Uihlein Farm of Cornell University and showing a performance in a winter test acceptable to the certifying agency will be eligible for planting.
(d) Certified-Uihlein Generation 3.
Seed two years removed from the Uihlein Farm of Cornell University and showing a performance in a winter test acceptable to the certifying agency will be eligible for planting.
(e) Certified-Generations 1 through 6.
(1) foundation class seed meeting New York blue tag or yellow tag grade requirements originating from New York, other states or Canada; or
(2) certified class seed meeting New York blue tag or yellow tag grade requirements originating from New York, other states or Canada as evidenced by an inspection performed by the State or Federal-State Inspection Service, that have passed a winter test acceptable to the certifying agency; or
(3) New York certified or foundation seed meeting New York white tag grade requirements as evidenced by an inspection performed by the State or Federal-State Inspection Service, that have passed a winter test acceptable to the certifying agency; or
(4) potatoes planted by New York certified seed growers utilizing planting stocks of their own production that are direct progeny from eligible planting stocks and have passed a winter test acceptable to the certifying agency shall be eligible for planting.
(f) The certifying agency may reject as planting stocks any seed lot which in its opinion would be likely to produce potatoes unsuitable for certification.
(g) Records required.
Each grower shall keep a record of persons from whom foundation and/or certified seed was purchased. These records shall be available for examination by the certifying agency or New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets representative upon request. Such records shall include: variety, quantity, field numbers(s) and other pertinent certification documents.
