Energy associated
with crop actions
Energy estimated to establish
and grow crop to maturity
per hectare
Eskimo F1 and Frost Tolerance
Energy estimated to protect
crop using straw and black
polythene per hectare
Independent evaluations performed by NIAB suggest that Eskimo F1 provided the highest percentage of sound carrots from an open field
location following frost conditions. Trials and commercial evidence to date lead us to believe the following factors may be influencing Eskimo F1’s
frost tolerance.
Energy estimated to harvest
and transport to packhouse
per hectare
•Roots implant deeper into the soil keeping crowns covered and thick foliage acts as an insulating layer similar to straw
•High sugar content may confer properties similar to anti-freeze
•Roots have a high dry matter content which may help them withstand the damage induced by freeze / thaw action

Late maincrop variety with excellent flavour.
•The energy inputs required to grow a carrot crop to maturity, are estimated to be 11.7 GJ/ha2 producing 810kg C02/ha.
•Using straw and polythene significantly increases energy inputs, adding an extra 52.8 GJ of energy
or 3653 kg of CO2/ha to the crop’s carbon footprint.
•By extending the open field season using Eskimo F1, a large proportion of the extra carbon produced by straw
and polythene can be avoided, reducing the overall carbon by usage by 60.6%

These product specifications for germination of precision seeds, varietal
purity of precision seeds and seed health requirements are based upon
ESA recommended standards.
level than given in these specifications, Hazera will inform prospective
seed users. This communication is aimed at informing professional
seed users about the quality they can expect, so they can make their own
assessment and decide if these seeds meet their requirements.
These product specifications are not meant to be absolute minimum
standards for delivery. If the quality tests of Hazera indicate a lower quality
ESA vegetable seed product specifications
Vegetable growing has become a highly specialized and intensive
activity. As a result of the ever increasing demand for better quality,
vegetable growers and plant raisers require an improved quality of the
basic material.
Seed is a natural product. The often varying environmental conditions
thus influence final results. It is therefore often not possible to give
detailed information about emergence and other physical seed
characteristics. To meet the wishes of clients as much as possible Hazera
has made up quality standards for the various seed categories.
The demand for specific seed forms and more information about seed
quality has strongly increased to better influence emergence and required
number of plants.
The germination percentages mentioned are Hazera’s minimum required
figures and made up according to ISTA methods and tolerances.

In order to supply sufficiently healthy vegetable seeds and in order to meet
the requirements of EU Council Directive 2002/55/EC, Hazera uses various
disease risk management strategies to prevent and control seed transmitted
diseases. These may include and are not limited to seed health testing
programs, protected seed production, field inspections, seed treatments and
other effective seed disinfection methods.
ISHI-VEG has developed the Manual of Seed Health Testing Methods,
which includes state of the art seed health testing protocols. Hazera
follows the ISHI-VEG recommended minimum sizes of a representative
sample for seed health testing.
Information regarding the ISHI-VEG seed health test protocols and
recommended minimum sample sizes can be found at:
www.worldseed.org/isf/ishi_vegetable.html
The reaction of plants to pests or pathogens
Differing degrees of specificity exist in the relations between plants and pests
or pathogens. Identification of such specificity generally requires the use of
highly elaborate analytical methods. Recognizing whether a plant is subject
to a pest or pathogen or not may depend on the analytical method employed.
It is important, in general, to stress that the specificity of pests or pathogens
may vary over time and space, depends on environmental factors, and that
new pest biotypes or new pathogen races capable of overcoming resistance
may emerge.
Definitions
Immunity
Not subject to attack or infection by a specified pest
or pathogen.
Resistance
is the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth
and development of a specified pest or pathogen and/
or the damage they cause when compared to susceptible
plant varieties under similar environmental conditions and
pest or pathogen pressure. Resistant varieties may exhibit
some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or
pathogen pressure.
Two levels of resistance are defined.
High/standard resistance (HR*): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the
specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen
pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These
plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or
damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
Moderate/intermediate resistance (IR*):
plant varieties that restrict the growth and development
of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a
greater range of symptoms or damage compared to
resistant varieties. Moderately/intermediately resistant
plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms
or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown
under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or
pathogen pressure.
Susceptibility is the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and
development of a specified pest or pathogen.
Tolerance is the ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress
without serious consequences for growth, appearance
and yield.
Genetically modified organisms
We are not offering for sale or trialling any genetically modified material. When in due course varieties are produced in this way they will be clearly labelled
and identified in line with public requirements.

Germination
In general, normal
seed has not been
subjected to additional
processes. It is sold
by weight and/or by
count, depending on
the product. Normal
seed complies with the
EEC standards.
Precision seed has
been subjected to
additional processes.
It has a uniform size
and high germination.
Precision seed is sold
by count.
Priming is defined as
an activation of the
germination process
with the purpose to
obtain faster or more
uniform emergence
after sowing.
Primed seed is sold
by count.
Pelleting is defined
as the process of
changing the seed
form by covering it
with a material, the
main purpose being
improved sowing
ability.Also additional
ingredients may be
added. Pelleted seed is
sold by count.
Filmcoating is a full
covering, usually a
pigmented layer
around the seed.
The original seed
form remains intact.
Additional ingredients
may be added.
Filmcoated seed is
sold by count.
Gluecoating is a
process which fixes
the applied crop
protection products
in an almost dust free
manner to the seed.
A pigment may
be added.
Germination figures
relate to ISTA
procedures and
are valid at the time
of dispatch.

17. PROVISION OF INFORMATION
17.1
Information provided by the Seller in any form whatsoever is without
commitment. Descriptions, recommendations and illustrations in
brochures, leaflets and on web sites, are based as closely as possible
on experiences in tests and in practice. The Seller shall, in no event,
accept any liability, however, on the basis of such information
for different results obtained in the cultivated product. The Buyer
must determine whether the products are suitable for the intended
horticultural crop and/or can be used under local conditions.
17.2 In the information provided by the Seller, the definitions of the used
terminology are as follows:
17.2.1 ‘Immunity’: not subject to attack or infection by a specified pest or
pathogen;
17.2.2 ‘Resistance’: the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and
development of a specified pest or pathogen and/or the damage they
cause when compared to susceptible plant varieties under similar
environmental conditions and pest or pathogen pressure. Resistant
varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy
pest or pathogen pressure;
Two levels of resistance are defined:
(a) High resistance (HR): plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and
development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or
pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant
varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy
pest or pathogen pressure;
(b) Intermediate resistance (IR): plant varieties that restrict the growth
and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit
a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to resistant
varieties. Intermediate resistant plant varieties will still show less
severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when
grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen
pressure. The standard abbreviations HR (high/standard resistance)
and IR (moderate/intermediate resistance) shall be used in all
languages.
17.2.3 ‘Susceptibility’: The inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and
development of a specified pest or pathogen.;
17.2.4 ‘Tolerance’ is the ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress
without serious consequences for growth, appearance and yield.
18. RESTRICTION ON REPRODUCTION AND / PROPAGATION
18.1

material hereof:
18.1.1 to use these for the purpose of multiplication;
18.1.2 to offer for sale;
18.1.3 to sell;
18.1.4 to import and/or export; and/or
18.1.5 to have material in stock for any of these purposes.
18.2 The restrictions in clause 18.1 also apply for varieties derived or
indirectly derived from a delivered variety.
18.3 In case of re-selling of the delivered products, the Buyer shall impose
the above clause on its buyer, under the penalty of a fine for each
infringement. The amount of the fine will not be less than the benefit
obtained by the buyer.
3. Buyer is obliged to allow the holder of the plant breeders’ rights, or
the party representing him, direct access to its business, including in
particular the greenhouses, in order to enable the Seller or the party
representing him, to control, in case of suspicion of multiplication and/
or reproduction of base material. In the Buyer’s business is included as

Buyer. Buyer will grant upon first request immediate access to all his
relevant administration related to the product and reproduction material.
19. NOTIFICATION OF DEFECTS AND DEFICIENCIES
19.1
The Buyer must inspect the products purchased upon delivery, or
as soon as possible after delivery. In doing so the Buyer must check
whether the products delivered comply with the agreement, i.e.:
19.1.1 whether the correct products have been delivered;
19.1.2 whether the quantity of the products delivered corresponds with the
agreement;
19.1.3 whether the products delivered meet the agreed quality requirements
or - if none were agreed - the requirements that may be stipulated for

third party can verify them. For that purpose the Buyer must also keep
records with regard to the use of the products and, in the event of resale
of the products, with regard to his buyer(s). If the Buyer does not file a
complaint within the aforesaid period, the Buyer’s complaint will not be
dealt with and rights will expire.
19.3 In the event of a permanent dispute between the parties concerning
the germination capacity, varietal trueness, varietal purity or technical
purity and health, an inspection may be performed at the request of
either party by the Naktuinbouw (Netherlands Inspection Service for
Horticulture), having its registered office in Roelofarendsveen, The
Netherlands. This request must be made within 6 months after the
first official announcement of the complaint according clause 9. The
costs of this investigation will be covered by the party concluded to be
dominantly wrong. The inspection will be carried out on the basis of
the before sale taken and retained sample by the Seller. This is done
under the supervision and control of the Naktuinbouw. The outcome of
this inspection will be binding on both parties, without prejudice to the
parties’ right to submit disputes on the consequences of this outcome
to the institutes referred to in clause 15.

provision to the party giving the notice.
20.3 The Contract constitutes the entire understanding between the parties
concerning the subject matter of the Contract and neither of the
parties has been induced to enter into the Contract by a statement or
promise which it does not contain. This shall not exclude any liability
which a party would otherwise have to the other party in respect of
any statement made fraudulently by that party prior to the date of the
Contract.
20.4 No waiver by the Seller of any breach of the Contract by the Buyer shall
be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any
other provision.
20.5 If any provision of these Conditions is held by any competent authority
to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part the validity of the other
provisions of these Conditions and the remainder of the provision in
question shall not be affected thereby.

hereby agree to submit any dispute to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the English courts.
