Send us Sample

A test result of a given seed lot can represent a huge amount of seed mass. Therefore, sending a good representative sample is the responsibility of the sampler or sender.

Take random samples from each truck load while dumping in the bin and store the seed in a suitable container. Don't use airtight plastic bags, airtight pails, and tobacco, coffee and oil containers.

Avoid taking samples from just nearby bin door. This area is often prone to have high moisture causing heated and mouldy grain.

The best recommended practice is to take a sample from the bin or bulk stored bags directly using a sample probe and proper probing technique.

Samples also can be obtained during grain cleaning at frequent intervals. Some cleaning plants are also equipped with an automatic sampling device.
