SCOTTISH AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AGENCY REGISTER OF PRE-BASIC AND BASIC SEED POTATO CROPS 2004 SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE SCOTTISH AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AGENCY REGISTER OF PRE-BASIC AND BASIC SEED POTATO CROPS 2004 SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE © Crown copyright 2004 ISBN 0 7559 1061 3 Published by Scottish Executive St Andrew’s House Edinburgh Produced for the Scottish Executive by Astron B38163 10-04 Further copies are available from Blackwell's Bookshop 53 South Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1YS Telephone orders and inquiries 0131 622 8283 or 0131 622 8258 Fax orders 0131 557 8149 Email orders [email protected] The text pages of this document are produced from 100% elemental chlorine-free, environmentally-preferred material and are 100% recyclable. ii INTRODUCTION All seed potatoes classified by SASA comply with the requirements of The Seed Potatoes (Scotland) Regulations 2000, The Plant Health Order (Great Britain) 1993, and all relevant European Directives in relation to the production and marketing of pre-basic and basic seed potatoes. Pre-basic seed crops are eligible for inspection if they are planted with potatoes that were classified the previous year as Pre-basic 1; or Pre-basic TC (Mini Tubers) that were obtained from propagation units that have been approved by SASA. All initial planting material in these units must have been derived from nuclear (pathogen tested microplants) stock produced by SASA. Pre- basic crops must be grown on land on which potatoes have not been grown in the preceeding 7 years and is free from wart disease and potato cyst nematode. Pre-basic crops are classified provided they meet the strict standards for purity and health at two growing crop inspections. Basic seed crops are eligible for inspection if they are planted with potatoes that were classified the previous year at a Basic class equivalent to EEC 1 or EEC 2, or the appropriate class of the Pre-basic category as permitted by the above Regulations. Basic seed crops must be grown on land on which potatoes have not been grown in the preceeding 5 years and is free from wart disease and potato cyst nematode. Basic seed crops are classified provided they meet the required standards for purity and health at two growing crop inspections. All Basic Category crops in the Register meet the requirements for EC Community Grades EEC 1, EEC 2 or EEC 3. Only classified seed potatoes that have been subject to an official tuber inspection, that applies tolerances for disease, pests, damage and defects, and are in sealed containers to which an official label/EC Plant Passport is attached may be marketed. The label will contain details of the potatoes and will confirm if they are Pre-basic or Basic category and as appropriate, the class and EEC grade. The person who markets the seed potatoes must provide a sale or delivery note that contains specified details, similar to those on the label, within fourteen days of the sale or delivery. Those who market seed potatoes are responsible for ensuring that the potatoes comply with the Regulations. In the Register, crops are listed by classes. Each part is sub-divided by variety and geographic location; within each sub- division the producer’s name and number are shown, together with the area classified in hectares. The name of the farm on which the crop was grown is also shown. Part I and II– Pre-basic and VTSC (Virus Tested Stem Cuttings). Crops at growing crop inspection that were found to have no deviation from trueness-to-type and to contain nil % of groundkeepers, Severe Mosaic, Mild Mosaic, Leafroll and Blackleg. Crops are identified by a numerical suffix (Pre-basic 1, Pre-basic 2, VT 1, VT 2) denoting the number of years that they have been classified at Pre-Basic or VTSC. Part III–Super Elite. Crops at growing crop inspection that were found to contain not more than 0.05 % in total of rogues or undesirable variations (including wildings, bolters and semi bolters); nil % Severe Mosaic and not more than 0.01% Leafroll, 0.05 % Mild Mosaic (including all mottles) or 0.25 % Blackleg. All SE crops are identified by a numerical suffix (SE1, SE2, SE3) denoting the number of years that they have been grown at SE level. Part IV– Elite. Crops at growing crop inspection that were found to contain not more than 0.05% in total of rogues or undesirable variations (including wildings and bolters); and not more than 0.5% Leafroll, Severe Mosaic and Mild Mosaic of which not more than 0.1% (in total) was Leafroll and Severe Mosaic; or 0.5% Blackleg. All E crops are identified with a numerical suffix (E1, E2, E3) denoting the number of years that they have been classified at E level. Part V– AA. Crops at growing crop inspection that were found to contain not more than 0.1% in total of rogues or undesirable variations (including wildings and bolters); and not more than 1.0% Leafroll, Severe Mosaic and Mild Mosaic, or 1.0% Blackleg. Part VI– Organic. Crops classified at Super Elite, Elite and AA that upon entry for classification were identified by the applicant as being produced to meet the requirements of a recognised organic certification authority. SASA cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided. AA/EEC3 is not a class of entry in the Scottish classification scheme. Seed crops will not be considered for classification if there are crops on the farm which are being grown from an AA or EEC 3 source. Trueness-to-type – For tuber coloured variants of established varieties (e.g. Red King Edward or Red Craigs Royal) classification refers only to foliage type. The responsibility for dressing out any tubers from the produce of the crop which do not conform to the colour of the variant rests with the seller. The Regulations state that for Basic category potatoes the percentage must not exceed 0.1% of the sample taken by an inspector prior to marketing; for Pre-basic category potatoes the amount must not exceed 0.01%. The Register does not include all seed potato crops classified by SASA in 2004.
