16 Seeds X Phytosanitary risks Differentiate risk for different seed technologies and seed species Common understanding seed as high risk material Controlled process from laboratory to certification process Protection of seeds reconditioned and/or treated seed coated, seed pelleting Tradition o of trade without non conformities o
