During crop inspection, the seed crop inspector may observe plants with morphological or physical characteristics that differ from the rest of the crop. It is important to be aware of ways in which the environment may affect the crop(e. g., temperature, moisture, wind, insects, diseases, animals or chemical damage) and to consider these when determining the identity of a suspected deviant plant. 2, record 3, English, - seed%20crop%20inspector

Au cours de l'inspection, il est possible que l'inspecteur de cultures de semences trouve des plantes présentant des caractéristiques physiques et morphologiques différentes de celles du reste de la culture. Il est important de connaître les incidences que l'environnement peut avoir sur la culture (p. ex., la température, l'humidité, les vents, les insectes, les maladies, les animaux ou les dommages causés par les produits chimiques) et de les prendre en compte dans la détermination de l'identité d'un plant douteux. 2, record 3, French, - inspecteur%20de%20cultures%20de%20semence

Because of the importance of standard samples, great care is taken in their preparation. Quantities of grain sufficient to prepare standard samples of each grade are obtained from primary elevators and from rail cars unloading at terminal elevators. About 50 tonnes are collected and sent annually to the Commission's Inspection Division. The samples are representative of the major grading factors peculiar to that crop and of a cross-section of all production areas. The term "standard" in the Canadian grading system, means minimum quality. 1, record 7, English, - minimum%20quality

En raison de leur importance, on apporte le plus grand soin à la préparation des échantillons types. On prélève aux silos de collecte et dans les wagons en déchargement aux silos portuaires ou industriels des quantités de grain suffisantes pour constituer des échantillons. Ces prélèvements atteignent annuellement quelque 50 tonnes de grain que l'on envoie à la division d'Inspection de la Commission. Les échantillons ainsi recueillis sont représentatifs des principaux facteurs particuliers à la récolte et de l'ensemble des régions productrices.

Guide samples are prepared by senior inspectors to serve as comparative samples for interpreting abnormal grading factors present in a particular crop year, usually to reflect damage to grain from a specific area or to reflect a single grading factor. Senior inspectors also review samples of all types of shipments to ensure the accuracy of grain inspections. Each inspection point must maintain grade average samples and submit them periodically to head office for review. Any deviation from normal patterns is investigated, which may involve chemical analysis in the Grain Research Laboratory. 1, record 9, English, - guide%20and%20average%20samples

Des inspecteurs principaux préparent des échantillons témoins qui serviront de points de comparaison pour l'interprétation de facteurs d'agréage anormaux qui peuvent se présenter certaines campagnes; ces échantillons témoins sont habituellement préparés pour montrer les types de dommages qui peuvent être causés au grain provenant d'une région particulière ou tout simplement pour isoler un facteur d'agréage. Des inspecteurs principaux révisent aussi les échantillons prélevés sur tous les types de grains expédiés afin de vérifier la précision des inspections de grain. Chaque point d'inspection doit conserver des échantillons moyens des grades et en envoie périodiquement des prélèvements à l'administration centrale pour étude. Toute anomalie fait l'objet d'une enquête et les échantillons douteux peuvent être soumis à une analyse chimique au laboratoire de recherches sur les grains. 1, record 9, French, - %C3%A9chantillons%20t%C3%A9moins%20et%20%C3%A9chantillons%20moyens
