Abstract
The objects of the Association, which was established in 1954, are to multiply and certify seed of improved cultivars of grasses and legumes released by Government Research Stations. Certification is outlined in terms of classes of seed, isolation, weed‐free production fields, preparation of seed for sale, seed testing standards and annual production of seed. The influence of the Association's seed certification programme upon the development of planted pastures in Rhodesia is discussed.
