Correct ME if *I* am wrong - I'm not positive of this. But my
understanding is that a seed merchant must test the seed. Once. If they
save a batch of seed over from year to year (which often happens), I
don't believe they are required to retest it, even though the
germination rate may have fallen significantly.
