El documento describe la necesidad de innovación en los sistemas de abastecimiento de semillas para satisfacer las necesidades de una población mundial en crecimiento con recursos limitados. Presenta ejemplos de sistemas innovadores en Brasil, Bolivia y Oregon que han logrado mayor eficiencia, calidad y competitividad a través de la organización, el desarrollo de variedades mejoradas, la capacitación y el uso de tecnología avanzada. También resalta lecciones como la importancia de políticas semilleras sólidas, el fortalecimiento de funciones

Here is the Willamette Valley. I want to spend a minute describing this valley and its climate 75 to 85% of all of our certified acres are in the Willamette Valley It is 110 miles long and up to 60 miles wide and is home for 70% of Oregon’s population Average low temperatures in the winter are generally around 30 °F (−1 °C) and winter high temperatures range on average from about about 40 °F (4 °C) Summer lows are around 50 °F (10 °C) and average high temps are about 80 °F (27 °C) or slightly higher in summer. Temperatures exceed 90 °F (32 °C) only 5 to 15 times a year on average, and temperatures lower than 0 °F (−18 °C) occur only about once every 25 years. [25] I would like to read from a special report, made by George Taylor, the past state climatologist “ The climate of the Valley is relatively mild throughout the year, characterized by cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. The climatic conditions closely resemble the Mediterranean climates which occur in California, although Oregon's winters are somewhat wetter and cooler. Growing seasons in the Willamette Valley are long, and moisture is abundant during most of the year (although summer irrigation is common). Like the remainder of western Oregon, the Valley has a predominant winter rainfall climate. Rainfall tends to vary inversely with temperatures -- the cooler months are the wettest, the warm summer months the driest. So our grass seed growers can plant in the fall and the plants survive the winter very well and then seed harvest is during the dry part of the year. This is why this part of Oregon makes a good climate for seed production.
We have five certification advisory committees. They send their recommendations to the Certification, Foundation Seed and Plant Materials board for changes in the certification standards. We have the Oregon Seed Council, Seed Services Advisory Committee that meets twice a year to give recommendations. The Oregon Seed Trade meets twice a year and their Science and Technology committee provide input and suggestions Of course, my boss, Dr. Russ Karow is the Head of the Crop and Soil Science Department gives me input and suggestions And there are six commodity commissions that we participate in. So let’s look at each one
This is what it looks like traveling between fields. When you have all of the fields lined up on a map, it is simply a manner of pointing to the next field and the pilot takes you to the next field within a minute or two.
Has been providing services to Oregon for more than 100 years Is located on the OSU campus, but is fully supported by fees charged for services
Now let’s take a look at our Database used by Seed Certification and the Seed lab Connects Seed Services with all stakeholders Is Cy-Base Database Program All of the programming is done in-house Every piece of information is searchable To keep most human input mistakes out of the DB, each client must be in the system beforehand We rely on the DB system to make sure the lot is eligible before we allow tags to be printed Reduces transcription errors
Here is an example of our certified tag We create the image for each tag and send the image to the remote printer Customers go to website questions to print tags More tags than is needed can be printed, but there is an audit that follows up to verify every printed tag “ Trust but Verify” is our motto We averaged about 3 million tags printed each of the last three years. Total # of tags printed at all locations 7/1--7/1 07-08 3,307,072 08-09 2,805,841 09-10 3,153,588
