This document summarizes the different classes of seeds in the development and certification process. It begins with nucleus seed, which is genetically pure seed from a small number of selected plants. Breeder's seed is produced from nucleus seed and is used to produce foundation seed. Foundation seed is multiplied to produce registered seed, which can be further multiplied to produce certified seed, the class that is sold to farmers. Certified seed must meet standards for genetic purity, identity and quality.
Seed is the basic input for crop production and modern plant breeding has played a key role in developing high-yielding varieties and hybrids. Good quality seeds of improved varieties can increase production by 20-25%. A seed consists of an embryonic plant surrounded by food and a protective coat. It completes the plant reproduction process. Seed technology aims to rapidly multiply popular varieties and ensure a timely supply of high quality seeds at reasonable prices. It maintains genetic purity and certification standards. The seed industry has increased India's food production and plays a critical role in agriculture.
The document discusses the stages of seed development from formation of reproductive organs to maturation. It describes the processes of megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis, microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis which lead to the development of embryo sac and pollen grains. Pollination and fertilization occur, followed by embryogenesis and storage tissue formation as starch, fat, and proteins are deposited in the developing seed. Proper nutrition and irrigation are important for seed development and maturity is reached when seeds reach maximum dry weight and viability. Harvesting before or after physiological maturity can impact seed quality and storage potential.
This document discusses seed multiplication, which is the process of increasing the quantity of seed from limited breeder seed to commercial quantities. It involves several stages: breeder seed, foundation seed, registered seed, and certified seed. Breeder seed is produced by the plant breeder and is genetically pure. Foundation seed is produced directly from breeder seed to be the source of registered and certified seed. Registered seed is produced from foundation or registered seed. Certified seed is produced from foundation, registered, or certified seed and must meet purity and quality requirements to be certified for commercial use. The benefits of new varieties cannot be realized without sufficient seed multiplication to commercial levels.

Breeding methods in cross pollinated crops with major emphasis on population ...Vinod Pawar
This document summarizes a doctoral seminar presentation on breeding methods in cross-pollinated crops with an emphasis on population improvement. The presentation covered topics like introduction, breeding methods, population improvement, and a case study. Some key breeding methods discussed include mass selection, progeny testing, recurrent selection, hybrids, and synthetics/composites. The document provides details on backcross breeding methods for both transferring dominant and recessive genes, including the steps involved in multiple generations of backcrossing and selection.
Seed vigour is determined by the properties that allow seeds to germinate and grow in different environments. It is affected by both internal factors, like genotype and seed size, and external factors such as mechanical injury during harvesting, pre-harvesting conditions, soil temperature and moisture, tillage and fertilizer use, and moisture uptake. Smaller seeds tend to be less vigorous than medium or large seeds. Harvesting seeds before maturity and mechanical damage during harvesting can reduce seed vigour by allowing pathogens to enter seeds. High soil moisture and temperature during seed development and storage can increase respiration and pathogen growth, shortening storage life. Tillage and adequate fertilizer promote seed yield and vigour.
Cotton is an important warm season crop grown for its fiber. It is a dicot plant that is often cross pollinated. The two main types are old world cotton which are diploid species, and new world cotton which are allo-tetraploid species. Breeding objectives for cotton include improved fiber yield and quality, early maturity, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Hybridization is the main breeding method used to combine desirable traits from different cotton varieties.
The document discusses the pedigree selection method for plant breeding. It begins by explaining that the pedigree method was first outlined in 1927 and involves selecting individual plants from segregating generations and recording their progeny relationships until homozygosity is reached.
It then notes that a pedigree record details the relationships between selected plants and their progeny, and is helpful for determining genetic relatedness. The pedigree method is commonly used for self-pollinated crops to select for specific traits like disease resistance over multiple generations. While it is effective for simply inherited traits and faster than bulk methods, maintaining accurate pedigree records takes time and skill from breeders.
Seed treatment and packing are important to protect seeds from biotic and abiotic damage during storage and transport. Seed treatment not only prevents damage but also improves quality by adding microbes that fix nitrogen and solubilize phosphorus to reduce fertilizer needs. The benefits of seed treatment include preventing disease spread, protecting from blight and rot, improving germination, and controlling storage pests and soil insects. Common seed treatments include mercurial, organic non-mercurial, and inorganic non-mercurial products. After treatment, seeds are packaged, weighed, labeled, and stored or shipped using various conveying equipment suited to the seed quantity and transport direction.
This document discusses seed viability, dormancy, and storage. It defines seed viability as the ability of a seed to germinate and produce a normal seedling. Seed viability can be reduced by adverse weather during development or environmental conditions after maturity. Methods to test viability include tetrazolium tests, germination tests, and x-ray analysis. Seed dormancy is when viable seeds do not germinate under favorable conditions. Causes of dormancy include impermeable seed coats and immature embryos. Dormancy can be broken through mechanical or chemical scarification. Seed storage aims to maintain seed quality until planting by keeping seeds dry and cool in sealed containers or conditioned facilities.
This document provides information on the breeding of cucumber crops. It discusses the taxonomy and domestication of cucumber, describing its botanical classification and possible centers of origin.

The genetics of sex expression in cucumber are also summarized. Recommended resistant varieties and breeding objectives such as reduced plant height are mentioned.
Seed certification is a quality assurance system that subjects seeds intended for marketing to official controls and inspections. It involves a series of seed multiplication steps - from breeder seed to foundation seed to registered seed to certified seed - to produce sufficient quantities of pure seed for commercial use while maintaining genetic purity. The key steps in seed certification include applying for seed production, registering sowing reports, conducting field inspections, processing seeds, sampling and analysis, tagging certified seeds that meet standards. This ensures farmers have access to high quality seeds of improved varieties.
Seed inspectors are appointed by state governments to enforce seed quality control laws. They have various qualifications and duties including integrity, knowledge of seed standards, sampling procedures, and enforcement powers. Inspectors are responsible for drawing representative samples, sending them for analysis, investigating potential offenses, and taking actions like stop sale orders or seizures if standards are not met. They aim to educate industry and ensure compliance with laws to protect seed quality and the industry.
Backcross method for dominant and recessive gene transfer.Pawan Nagar
This document discusses the backcross method for transferring dominant and recessive genes. The backcross method involves using a recurrent parent that lacks a desired trait and a donor parent that has the trait in order to transfer the trait to the recurrent parent over multiple generations. For dominant traits, backcrosses can be done sequentially, while for recessive traits, F2 generations must be grown after the first and subsequent backcrosses to identify plants with the recessive trait. The backcross method allows a trait to be transferred without significantly changing the genotype of the recurrent parent. Some examples of traits transferred through backcrossing include rust resistance in wheat and downy mildew resistance in pearl millet.

The document outlines natural vegetative propagation methods like adventitious roots and runners as well as artificial methods like cuttings, grafting, layering, suckering, and tissue culture.
Sugarcane is a perennial grass that is native to warm temperate and tropical regions. It is cultivated for sugar production and biofuel. Sugarcane has a complex genome due to polyploidy. Traditional breeding methods like hybridization and selection are used but are challenging due to self-sterility and irregular meiosis. Important sugarcane breeding programs are located in India, Australia, Florida and other tropical regions. Breeding goals include developing varieties with high sugar content, disease resistance, and adaptability to different seasons and climates. Techniques like nobilisation, mutation breeding and biotechnology supplement conventional breeding methods.
Plant propagation can occur through sexual or asexual methods. Sexual propagation uses seeds while asexual propagation involves vegetative reproduction techniques without seeds, including cuttings, grafting, layering, and tissue culture. Cuttings require specific conditions like humidity and rooting hormones to successfully grow roots. Grafting combines scions and rootstocks to modify plant traits. Layering induces roots to form on intact plants. Micropropagation is an efficient method using specialized tissue culture techniques under sterile conditions. Propagation by seed is widely used for agricultural crops but seeds can have dormancy issues.

Ginger is commonly propagated asexually through rootstalk cuttings due to its low genetic diversity when reproducing asexually. Asexual propagation has the advantages of producing clones of the parent plant with identical desirable traits and allowing plants to bypass the seedling phase to reach maturity faster. However, asexual propagation can impact biodiversity and make entire crops susceptible to disease if the clone is disease-prone.

A nursery is a place where plants are propagated and grown until they are ready to be planted elsewhere. There are different types of nurseries depending on factors like the planting material used, irrigation needs, and intended duration. Permanent nurseries are maintained long-term to meet regeneration needs, while temporary nurseries are set up as needed. Nurseries can help with artificial regeneration on degraded sites by providing healthy seedlings adapted to local conditions. They allow for commercial production and introduction of exotic species that do not establish well directly from seed.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

PLANT PROPAGATING MATERIALS USED IN FOREST NURSERY.pptx
1. PLANT PROPAGATING MATERIALS
USED IN FOREST NURSERY
SUBMITTED TO
College of Forestry
Odisha University of Agriculture & Technology
2. WHAT WE MEAN BY PROPAGATION
It is the controlled
perpatuation of plants,
Otherwise we can say the
plant multiplication.
The objective of propagation
are……
I. To increase in number of
plants.
II. To preserve the essential
character of plant.
3. TYPES OF PLANTING MATERIALS……..
Plants can be
propagated by
sexually(seed) or
asexually (stumps,
root suckers,
coppice,cuttings
etc)…..
SEED
ROOT
SUCKERS
STUMPS COPPICE
LAYERING BUDDING
GRAFTING
4. • Plants may be propagated by seeds, but often
desirable cultivars are propagated asexually.
The most common method is by cuttings.
These can be taken from shoot tips or parts of
stems with a node (softwood cuttings) or from
older stems (hardwood cuttings).
• Herbaceous perennials are also often
propagated by root cuttings or division. For
plants on a rootstock grafting or budding is
used. Older techniques like layering are
sometimes used for crops which are difficult to
propagate.
5. Propagation by seed…..
The most common method of propagation
for self pollinated plant is by seed
SEED IS LESS EXPENSIVE.
Seed is kept dry and cool for maintaining
seed viability from harvest to the next
planting season.
SOME TREES PROPAGATED BY SEEDS
ONLY ARE….
a. DALBERGIA SISOO
b. ACACIA NILOTICA
c. ADINA CORDIFOLIA
d. GMELINA ARBOREA
e. TOONA SILIATA
6. Propagation by ROOT-SUCKERs……
The shoots when arise from the roots are called root suckers.
The propagation of root suckers are obtained by felling the tree or by
injury to roots.
Some times the root suckers may be promoted by trenching around
trees and running trenches through tree areas.
Stereospermum and millingtonia are able to produce natural root
suckers at far away distance from parent tree.
SOME SPC. PROPAGATES BY ROOT SUCKERS ARE….
DALBERGIA LATTIFOLIA, ACACIA NILOTICA,
PROSOPIS SINERARIA,DIOSPERMUM MELANOXYLON,
ACACIA CATECHU,
