seed labels are text descriptions and specific patterns of the content marked on the outer packaging or inner label of the seed. However, many irregular labels of seed labels will mislead farmers and cause serious losses due to misjudgment. So what are the irregular labels of seed labels seen on the market?
1. Illegality of variety name tag
Some companies label the variety approval number of the seeds that have passed the approval, but due to speculation and price factors, is sold in the market with other varieties of . This phenomenon is to use this variety seed as other varieties of seeds, resulting in illegal labeling of variety names and should be judged as fake seeds.
2. quality indicators are not standardized
quality indicators, also known as quality characteristics, consist of labeling items (such as germination rate, purity, clarity and other indicators) and labeling values.
3. net content labeling is not standardized to define
The actual quality or quantity of the contents after removing the packaging. The correct label for is: net content: 1.5 kg, and other labels are irregular labels, such as: net content: 1.5 kg; net content: 1500 grams; net content: 1.5 kg±10 content 1.5 kg, etc.
4. production year and month labeling is not standardized
production year and month labeling has clear requirements in the "General Rules for Labeling". The basic format of : YYYY-MM.
For example, if the seeds were harvested in September 2016, they should be marked as: Production date: 2016-09. In recent years, some enterprises often use irregular marks such as: production date: 2016-9 or production date: 2016, etc. The General Principles of Labels clearly stipulate that the production date of seeds refers to the date of harvesting or seedlings. The date of marking should be specific to the month. However, during market inspection, many packaging bags are marked with production and processing dates. Users do not know whether the production and processing date specifically refers to the harvest date or processing date. Some labels even have processing and packaging dates, without production dates. Seeds are life carriers with a life span. The service life of a seed starts from seed harvesting and has nothing to do with the processing and packaging date of the seed. Users can judge how long the service life of the seed is based on the production year and month of the seed.
In addition, you can also use the production location to determine whether this batch of seeds is legally produced, because different crops are in different places and their harvest dates are relatively fixed. For enterprises, the processing and packaging dates may not be marked, but the production year and month must be marked, that is, the year and month of harvest of seeds from the ground.
5. Illegality of warning signs for seed treatment for chemical agents
Seed companies will use coating or chemical treatment for seeds in order to enhance the market competitiveness and added value of seeds. However, it must be noted that the seeds treated by medicine should be marked with the name, active ingredients, content, and precautions of medicine; and attached a warning sign of skeleton or cross bone according to the toxicity of the medicine, and marked with red toxic words.
warning signs must be eye-catching. If there is no warning sign or the warning sign is not obvious, causing an accident that affects the person, it is deemed that the seller has failed to fulfill his obligation to inform and must bear certain legal responsibilities.
6. Imported seeds are incomplete
With the development of economic development, more and more foreign seeds have also begun to enter the market, and many companies have begun to get involved in the import and export business of seeds. Imported seeds should also comply with corresponding legal provisions, but judging from the current market conditions, imported seeds generally have incomplete labeling.
According to regulations, in addition to the content that ordinary seeds need to be marked, must also indicate the importer, seed import and export trade license number and import seed approval number, imported seed quarantine certificate number, origin, etc. : The importer refers to the unit that purchases seeds directly from abroad. The quarantine certificate number refers to the number of the quarantine approval form for the introduction of seeds. The place of origin refers to the country where the seeds are harvested or collected. In addition, no matter which country the seeds are imported from, the corresponding Chinese instructions must be used for sale in the country so that they can know the purchase, and the text in other languages cannot be greater than that in Chinese.
7. Illegality of the place of origin marked
" Seed Method " stipulates that the origin marked on the seed label does not match the actual place of origin of the seed and are fake seeds. During the seed label management process, it was found that the place of origin marked on the label of some seed enterprises and the number of phytosanitary certificates determine that the place of origin of the seed is Area A, but the phytosanitary certificate attached to the seeds when the seed enterprise transports the seeds found that the seed was produced in Area B, which is inconsistent with the place of origin marked on the seed label. Therefore, the administrative area where the seed enterprise produces does not match the place of origin marked on the label. According to the provisions of the "Seed Law", it is determined to be fake seeds.
8. In order to avoid responsibility, some companies mark
in the purchase instructions (or precautions) on the back of the packaging bag. Please try the bud within 15 days from the date of purchase. If the bud rate is insufficient, you can bring the packaging bag and the receipt of the purchased seeds to the purchase office for coordination and resolution. Expiration is deemed to be a qualified product and will not bear any economic losses.
(2) If there is no purchase and sale invoice, original seed packaging bag, anti-counterfeiting label and inner label are incompletely preserved or inconsistent, the user shall not bear the liability for compensation and shall bear the responsibility for it himself.
(3) Because the seed itself has a complex genetic factor , and the climate cultivation management conditions have a great impact on the results of cultivation, the results after sowing will not be liable for the seed price or above.
(4) After this variety is sold, no return or exchange will be allowed (no responsibility will be taken).
(5) This variety of seed breeding is strictly selected in non-live-sow fields without self-grown rice. If the purity caused by self-grown rice is planted in the field, the company shall not be liable for compensation.
(6) The seeds in this packaging have been tested and sold according to national regulations before processing and sales. However, due to the fact that there are many factors affecting the emergence of rice in (especially drought live streaming) in the field, if the emergence of seeds in the field due to live streaming, the company shall not be liable for compensation.
The above six labels are all irregular labels, have no legal basis, are invalid labels, and are not used as corporate disclaimer.
9. Other irregular labels
(1) Mark high-quality packaging and ordinary packaging according to the seed germination rate or the product nature of the variety.
(2) The top 50 seed industry titles evaluated by the Seed Association within the industry are marked on the seed label.
(3) The symptoms caused by seed poisoning, suggestions for drugs that can be used, etc. are not marked on the seed label. The scope of application of planting, stress resistance (disease) and other contents are concealed or tampered with.
or above are irregular labels that may appear on the seed label. By checking the label, you can avoid buying fake seeds to a certain extent. However, due to the strange methods of fraud in the market, in order to eliminate fake and inferior seeds, enterprises need to operate honestly and the government strengthens supervision and policy support.
Another thing to note is that you should not throw away the packaging of seeds at will. The seed tag is an important basis for identifying whether the seeds produced by enterprises and operated by distributors. is a kind of credential with legal effect. If you buy a fake product, this is strong evidence.
Real and standardized seed labels are particularly important. When purchasing seeds, you must pay attention to the standardization of the seed labels.
