Self-Guided Tutorial in Organic Seed Production

The Self-Guided Tutorial in Organic Seed Production was developed in 2016-2017 by OSA and MESA and was designed to supplement an on-farm seed production training experience. Tutorial users move through the topics at their own pace and are encouraged to connect with other growers and OSA staff. This is a six-part series of pre-recorded webinars and includes: 1) Introduction; 2) Trials and Selection; 3) Diseases and Pests; 4) Seed Quality, Harvesting Techniques, and Equipment; 5) Cleaning and Record Keeping; and 6) Seed Contracting and Economics.
