Seeds Online public users guide
Anyone can access public seed test results using Seeds Online.
Public users can access results for
- completed tests
- certified seed lines that have passed certification
- samples given public access by the test owner – see Seeds Online registered users guide for how to do this.
You must know the line number and cultivar name to search test results.
Searching seed test results
- Go to Seeds Online public access.
- Enter the seed line or seed lot number.
- Enter the cultivar name (the first 3 letters of the cultivar name is enough).
- Click 'search'.
- Select the line number to display the test results – select the most recent if more than one is listed.
- Click 'Previous screen' to return to the public search screen.
If no test results are found it may be because the:
- seed sample was not tested by Seed Services Australia
- test has not been completed
- seed line has failed final certification standards
- seed sample owner has not given public access
- information used in the search was incorrect.
