| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the seed industry's growing problem of invasive species. Presents the findings of a study by the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture that found several invasive species in 19 packets of wildflower seed from various seed producers. Provides the response of American Seed Trade Association (ASTA), an organization representing the seed industry, which asserts that "the conclusions drawn in (the article) are overreaching and will unfairly mislead the public and adversely affect the wildflower seed industry." Concludes with an ASTA spokesman's statement that "without objective scientific criteria (for invasiveness) that is binding, confusion and chaos will continue around the invasive species issue. That will damage more than the wildflower industry. It will harm the seed industry at large." |
