Lot HE Ladino clover seed certification program does not TP rovide for limiting the number of generations that certified seed may be removed from a given source of seed. In the case of Ranger alfalfa and several other improved varieties of forages, ccrtified seed is never more than three generations removed from breeder seed. Ladino seed from ficlds established with certified seed is eligible for certification. Under such a system any genetic changes that occur in a variety, whether they are due to natural selection or outcrossing, may become perpetuated and strains within the variety may arise.
