Client search (module 2, pg 5)

This search screen will allow you to look up clients in the Seed Planning and Registry (SPAR). "Clients" are agencies that own seedlots, receive services, nurseries that grow seedlings, or another other facility that stores or processes seed.

If you have located available seed or vegetative lots for your planting site and would like to contact the seedlot owner to arrange the purchase of seed, then a Client Search will assist you. The Client Search feature in SPAR will allow you to look up owner agencies using the company or individual's name, or by using a client acronym.
