(a)Flax — | |
(i)basic seed | 99.7 |
(ii)C1 seed | 98.0 |
(iii)C2 seed | 97.5 |
(iv)C3 seed | 97.5 |

4. For the purposes of paragraph 3, the minimum varietal purity of seed shall be examined mainly in field inspections carried out in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 12 of Schedule 3.
5. Where a female male-sterile component and a male component which does not restore male fertility are used for the production of CS seed of a hybrid variety of sunflower, the seed produced by the female male sterile component shall be blended with seed produced by the male component.
