Principle 2: Sustainable use of biodiversity

Criteria Guidance Evidence & Scoring Importance & Applicability
Criteria 2.1: Criteria 2.1: Practices are adopted to ensure sustainable use of the species cultivated or wild collected, and to prevent or mitigate negative impact on other species


2.1.19

(For cultivation) In case of on-site production of seeds and planting material, actions are taken to ensure that the seeds, seedlings, and new plants are free from pests, fungal infections and seeds from toxic weeds



 Practices to ensure that seeds, seedlings and other planting material produced on-site are free from pests, fungal infections and seeds from toxic weeds, include seed/seedling and bed:
  • sanitation
  • sterilisation
  • health check, and similar The identification of practices to ensure quality and health of seeds, seedlings and other planting material produced on-site can be done following expert guidelines, local knowledge or field experience. For compliance (score 2) at least sanitation and health checks are implemented. Field operators implement these practices. OaS provides technical, monetary and other types of support for the implementation of these practices when resources at the farm level are not sufficient.

    • DOCUMENTATION

    Recording of the practices implemented to reproduce planting material on-site can be used as evidence to assess compliance.


    INTERVIEWS

    Conversations with relevant informants explaining how on-site production of planting material is done can be used as evidence to assess compliance.


    OBSERVATION

    Field observation of how planting material is produced on-site and visits to on-site nurseries can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

    Scoring guidance

    0 - No practices are followed to ensure quality and health of seeds, seedlings and other planting material produced on-site
    1 - Practices to ensure quality and health of seeds, seedlings, and other planting material produced on-site are identified but not implemented
    2 - Most of the identified practices to ensure health and quality of seeds, seedlings and other planting material produced on-site are followed however the quality and health of seeds, seedlings and other planting material can be further improved
    3 - All identified practices to ensure health and quality of seeds, seedlings and other planting material produced on-site are followed and the planting material is free from pests, fungal infections and contamination from toxic weeds

    N/A - in the justification, please explain why
