Which of the following is not typically part of a seed treatment audit?

• A. Equipment Calibration
• B. PPE Use
• C. Labeling Compliance
• D. Crop Yield Improvement Program

Answer: (D)

Audits of seed treatment focus on the procedures and safety controls that ensure the product is applied correctly and safely. This means checking that the application equipment is calibrated so the right amount is delivered, workers use the required personal protective equipment, and labeling rules are followed to convey hazards, rates, and safety instructions accurately. These elements directly verify how the seed treatment is handled, applied, and protected.

A Crop Yield Improvement Program, while valuable for overall farm performance, is about outcomes and agronomic goals rather than the specific process controls of treating seeds. It doesn’t directly assess how the treatment is applied or managed, so it wouldn’t typically be included in a seed treatment audit.
