Example: 20 inch rows with 18 inch spacing between plants require 313,632 ÷18 = 17,424 plants per acre (multiplied by 2.47 = 43,037 plants her hectare). Vegetable Seeds 2022-2023 7
Two levels of resistance are defined:
AND CODES
Resistant varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or climate pressure
Resistances in our varieties are coded with a crop-specific resistance code (see the coding list on the next page for the explanations), unless indicated otherwise In situations where a variety is resistant to more than one pest, the individual resistance codes are separated by a semicolon (;) For the latest information on resistances and the interpretation of resistance codes, please see www.europrise.com
It is to be noted that if a resistance is claimed in a plant variety it is limited to the specified biotypes, pathotypes, races or strains of the pest If no biotypes, pathotypes, races or strains are specified in the resistance claim for a variety, it is because no generally accepted or relevant classification of the biotypes, pathotypes, races or strains of the cited pest exists New biotypes, pathotypes, races or strains that may emerge are not covered by the original resistance claim
I High resistance (HR): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and/or development of the specified pest and/ or the damage it causes under normal pest pressure when compared to susceptible varieties
• 'Resistance': the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and/or development of a specified pest and/or the damage it causes when compared to susceptible plant varieties under similar conditions
• 'Immunity': a plant variety is not subject to attack or infection by a specified pest Resistance codes
1 FAO defines a pest as: any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic agent injurious to plants or plant products. Pathogens (microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi that cause a disease) are, therefore, included in the term ‘pest’.
Definitions of the terms describing the reaction of plants to pests1 In the information provided by the Seller, the following meaning is given to the terms below:
RESISTANCE TERMINOLOGY
• 'Susceptibility': the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and/or development of a specified pest
II Intermediate resistance (IR): plant varieties that restrict the growth and/or development of the specified pest and/ or the damage it causes, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high resistant Varietiesvarietiesclaiming the same level of resistance against a specific pest may exhibit a different resistance response due to a different genetic background of a variety

PRODUCT FORMS
Bejo Basic coating is a film coating incorporating fungicides These fungicides protect the seed from seedling blight and soil fungi during germination Bejo insecticide coating (blue colour)
INTRODUCTION
All seed meets the requirements for standard seed of the EU Council Directive 2002/55/EC. Normal seed In general, normal seed has not been subjected to special processes It is sold by weight and/or by count, depending on the product Bejo Precision Bejo Precision is precision seed The most stringent quality standards are employed for Bejo Precision The seed has a uniform size and a high germination capacity The Euroseeds product specifications mentioned in the table below are the basic standards for Bejo Precision Primed seed
Vegetable growing has become a highly specialized and intensive activity As a result of the ever increasing demand for better quality, vegetable growers and plant raisers require an improved quality of the propagation material The demand for specific seed product forms and more information about seed quality has strongly increased to better influence emergence and required number of plants
The product specifications for both germination and varietal purity of precision seeds and the seed health requirements are based upon Euroseeds recommended standards
The often varying environmental conditions thus influence final results It is therefore often not possible to give detailed information about emergence and other physical seed characteristics To meet the wishes of clients as much as possible Bejo has made up quality standards for the various seed categories
PRODUCT FORMS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Seed is a natural product
Organic seed Bejo’s organic seed is certified according to Regulation (EC) 834/2007 After harvest, organically produced seed is subjected to physical treatment (e g by steam vacuum or hot water treatment) We apply an organic coating to all our organic seed Bejo coating for organic seed (yellowish colour)
The product specifications are not meant to be absolute minimum standards for delivery If the quality tests of Bejo indicate a lower quality-level than given in these specifications, Bejo will inform prospective seed users This communication is aimed at informing professional seed users about the quality they can expect, so they can make their own assessment and decide if these seeds meet their requirements
The priming of seed comprises the activation of the germination process with the aim of ensuring that the seedlings will emerge more quickly and/or more uniformly after sowing This process may also result in a more uniform crop and enables more accurate timing for weed control Pelleted seed The pelleting of seed is a process in which small or irregularly shaped seeds are coated with an inert material to make them round and uniform, in order to facilitate sowing It is also possible to add beneficial substances For pelleted seed Bejo Precision seed is used Bejo Basic coating (green colour)

Advice safe use fungicide and/ or insecticide treated seed When using fungicide and/or insecticide treated seed, you must take precautions for your own safety and the protection of the environment See “Treated seed safe use advice Euroseeds” on our website www.bejo.com
Insecticide coating is an all-round film coating incorporating fungicides and an insecticide This coating considerably helps to reduce the use of crop protection agents Insecticide coating provides reliable protection at the start of the cultivation and helps to prevent population growth It is only available for some onion varieties and specific countries
Bejo’s organic seed has a yellowish colour coating to facilitate sowing and for better visibility for drill depth and sowing rate control Bejo’s organic coating is approved by the organic certifier Bejo coating for non-chemically treated (NCT) seed (white colour) After harvest, conventionally produced seed may be physically treated (e g by steam vacuum or hot water treatment) NCT seed has a white colour coating, without any chemical additives, to facilitate sowing and for better visibility to control the drill depth and sowing rate

SEED HEALTH REQUIREMENTS In order to supply sufficiently healthy vegetable seeds and in order to meet the requirements of EU Council Directive 2002/55/EC, Bejo uses various disease risk management strategies to prevent and control seed transmitted diseases These may include and are not limited to seed health testing programs, protected seed production, field inspections, seed treatments and other effective seed disinfection methods ISHI-Veg has developed the Manual of Seed Health Testing Methods, which includes state of the art seed health testing protocols Bejo follows the ISHI-Veg recommended minimum sizes of a representative sample for seed health testing Information regarding the ISHI-Veg seed health test protocols and recommended minimum sample sizes can be found at: https://www worldseed org/resources/ishi-veg-protocols/ Vegetable Seeds 2022-2023 11

SEED ENHANCING FORMULA A STRONG START FOR A HEALTHY CROP
Precision seed (left) is outperformed by B-Mox® seed (right) f bejo.com
To produce a healthy, uniform crop, it is essential that young plants get a strong start. That’s why we developed the innovative B-Mox ® seed enhancing formula. Based on new technology, B-Mox ® strengthens the power of the seed, bringing more energy to seedlings and stimulating their growth in the earliest stage. Our international research trials have shown that our priming technology advanced by B-Mox ® gives an average of 5 percent improvement over standard priming, as seen in the development of the crop. Many growers have experienced the advantages of B-Mox ®, with stronger and more uniform crops and higher pack-out. They have often seen up to 15 percent higher pack-out compared to non-primed seeds. Customers report a positive effect on the storability of carrots as well. B-Mox ® is available for carrot and rooted parsley, and is always offered in combination with priming technology. ALSO AVAILABLE FOR OUR ORGANIC ASSORTMENT. CHECK B-MOX® IN ACTION Also available on bejo.com and Bejo YouTube channel.
