NSPL believes that quality is never an accident and is a result of innovation and proper management. Keeping total quality management in view, NSPL products are passed through two major quality assessment tests i.e. STL and GOT. In Nuziveedu Seed Testing Laboratory (NSTL), seed samples are tested for various quality parameters such as moisture content, physical purity, germination, seed vigour, luster and size of the seed, etc., so as to ensure better performance in the field.

The overall process of seed testing involves a total of around 30 members. The main equipment used in conducting the different tests include Walk-in-Germinator, Dry and Wet Bulb Thermometer, Boerner Divider, Electronic Balance, Desiccators, Grinding Machine and Oven.
