Laboratory Analyses of Norwegian Certified Seed Potatoes for Virus and Ring Rot (Clavibacter sepedonicus)

Description

The import of seed potatoes into Norway is not permitted for reasons of plant health. As a result, Norwegian seed potato crops provide the basis for all potato cultivation in Norway. The seed potato production is governed by Regulation no 1447 dated 2 July 1996 on seed potatoes. According to the regulation, the Buyer is responsible for conducting laboratory tests to ensure that the lots meet the conditions for approval. Please see Appendix 2 – The Buyer's requirement specifications – for further details.
