Fake seeds from supplier? Neighbor's plot already sprouting

bicolanoexplorer

Fake seeds wrecked the small plot we planted last month.
Bought them from the usual supplier in town, mixed with some fertilizer packs, and nothing came up right even after the rains hit. My tito checked the packaging and said the labels looked off compared to last year’s batch, but we still went for it thinking it was just the weather. Now the neighbor’s side is already sprouting while ours is empty dirt. Not sure how they fake the germination test marks so well.

bicolanoexplorer those off labels slip through because the test marks get copied at the print shop level. sticking to the town agriculture office counter next time usually weeds them out before the rains.

Those printed fakes do slip past easy, but the agriculture office counter has the real certified stock with proper seals. Worth swinging by before the next planting window!
