2. SEED PRODUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL
CROPS
What is Seed?
Seeds are the food for men, animals and birds .They are the wealth, they are
the beauty, they are the symbol of beginning.
In Broad Sense
âĸ Seed is a material which is used for planting or regeneration purpose.
Scientifically
âĸ Seed is a fertilized matured ovule together covered with seed coat is
called seed or it is a propagating material.
Technological Point Of View
âĸ Seed is a fertilized ripened ovule consisting of three main parts
namely seed coat, endosperm and embryo, which in due course gives
rise to a new plant.
âĸ It also refers to Propagating materials of healthy seedlings, tuber,
bulbs, rhizome, roots, cuttings, setts, all types of grafts and
vegetatively propagating materials used for production purpose.
3. IMPORTANTANCE OF SEED
īą The seed is the first determinant of the future plant development. The seed is
the master key to success with the cultivation.
īą Seed is crucial and basic input to increase crop yields per unit area. There is
clear mention in ancient literature yajarveda âMay the seed viable, may the
rains plentiful and may the grains ripe days and nightsâ
īą The green revolution was only possible with production of generally quality
seeds possessing other qualities namely high germination, high vigours high
physical purity and sound health. Hence green revolution is in fact seed
revolution.
īą Only seeds of assured quality can be expected to respond to fertilizer and
other inputs in expected manner, otherwise seed of hope may turn into seed
of frustration.
īą Among the inputs used by farmers seed in the cheapest input. It is basic inputs
and forms small part of the total cost of cultivation.
īą The quality seed ultimately increase the efficiency of the factor of crop
production.
4. ABOUT QUALITY OF SEED
īļ Quality seed is defined as varietal purity with high
germination percentage, free from disease and pest, and
with a proper moisture content and weight.
īļ Quality seed ensures good germination, rapid emergence
and vigorous growth. These aspect translate to a good plant
stand in field. Poor quality seed results in âskipsâ excessive
thinning or yield reduction due to over crowding all of which
diminish profitability.
5. IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY SEED
1. Quality seed is a vital input in crop production:
âĸ It is the cheapest input in crop production and key to
agriculture progress
âĸ Crop performances largely depend on the seed materials
used for sowing
âĸ Response of other inputs in crop production depends on
seed material used
2. The seed required for raising crop is quite small and its cost
is so less compared to other inputs
4. It is estimated that good quality seeds to improved varieties
can contribute about 20-25% increase in yield.
5. Quality seeds are important to unfold the potential yield
performance of the species and variety
6. CRITERIA OF QUALITY SEED
īĩ 1. They are genetically pure (true to type).
īĩ 2. The good quality seed has high return per unit area as the genetic
potentiality of the crop can be fully exploited.
īĩ 3. Less infestation of land with weed seed/other crop seeds.
īĩ 4. Less disease and insect problem.
īĩ 5. Minimization of seed/seedling rate i.e., fast and uniform
emergence of seedling.
īĩ 6. They are vigorous, free from pests and disease.
īĩ 7. They can be adopted themselves for extreme climatic condition
and cropping system of the location.
7. ContdâĻ
īĩ 8. The quality seed respond well to the high fertilizer dose.
īĩ 9. Uniform in plant population and maturity.
īĩ 10. Crop raised with quality seeds are aesthetically pleasing.
īĩ 11. Good seed prolongs life of a variety.
īĩ 12. Yield prediction is very easy.
īĩ 13. Handling in post-harvest operation will be easy.
īĩ 14. Preparations of finished products are also better.
īĩ 15. High produce value and their marketability.

âĸ Seed quality is determined by the following characteristics:
īļ Physical Attributes
īļ Physiological Attributes
īļ Genetic Attributes
īļ Storability
11. SEED QUALITY
1. Physical Attributes
âĸ A minimum of damaged seed
âĸ A minimal amount of weed seed or inert matter
âĸ A minimum of diseased seed

13. CLASSIFICATION OF QUALITY SEED
īļ Breeder-classification based on genetical quality (purity) viz. nucleus,
breederâs stock seed, foundation, certified & truthfully label seed .
īļ Botanical based on
number of cotyledon, viz.
dicotyledonous &
monocotyledonous .
14. CHARATERSTICS OF SEED TYPE
Nucleus Seed
It is the initial & lowest quantity of pure seed of an improved
variety and generated by original breeder . While more than one
variety of the same crop is to be grown for production of nucleus
seed, then proper isolation distance must be maintained to retain
the purity . It is genetically cent per cent pure . It requires no tag
due to be conserved with so restrictions .
15. BREEDERâS SEED
It is the progeny of nucleus seed, also maintained
by original breeder along with either agricultural
university or research institute. It is also cent per
cent pure . It requires a golden yellow tag with length
of 12cm & width of 6 cm .
16. FOUNDATIONAL SEED
It is the progeny of nucleus or breeder seed,
maintain by either seed company or progressive
farmer under certification of State Agricultural
Department. It requires a white tag.
17. CERTIFIED SEED
It is the progeny of either foundation or registered*
seed, produced for mass multiplication among the
common farmers and approved by seed certifying
agency . It requires a azure blue tag with length of
15cm & width of 7.5cm.
18. TRUTHFULLY LABEL (TL) SEED
It is the progeny of either certified or registered* seed, supervised by
farmer . It requires a opal green tag with length of 15cm & width of
10cm .
Registered Seed: It is the progeny of foundation seed raised on land of private
growers selected for this purpose and its genetic identity & purity are
maintained such as the certified .

21. STEPS OF QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION
Genetic principles of Seed Production
īą Production of genetically pure and otherwise good quality
pedigree seed is an exacting task requiring high technical skills
and comparatively heavy financial investment.
īą During seed production strict attention must be given to the
maintenance of genetic purity and other qualities of seeds in
order to exploit the full dividends sought to be obtained by
introduction of new superior crop plant varieties.
īą In other words, seed production must be carried out under
standardized and well-organized condition

26. Bio-fortification: Greek word âbiosâ means âlifeâ and Latin word
âfortificareâ means âmake strongâ. Food fortification or
enrichment is the process of adding micronutrients (essential
trace elements and vitamins) to food.
Crop bio-fortification:
âĸCrop Bio-fortification is the idea of breeding crops to increase
their nutritional value.
Ex; Zn rice, Zn wheat,iron pearlmillate,QPM,Golden rice
Bio Priming:
Synonymous term to Biological seed treatment.
A new technique of integrating biological (inoculation of seed with beneficial
organism to protect seed) and physiological aspects (seed hydration) of disease
control.
In broader sense, it is an ecological approach and an effective alternative to
chemical control unique from chemical seed treatments by their utilization of
living microorganisms.ex Trichoderma viridae, Trichoderma harzianum

32. SEED CERTIFICATION
īļ A legally sanctioned system to maintain quality of seeds during
seed production, post harvest operation and distribution of seeds.
īļ Seed certification is a quality assurance process. Seeds intended
for domestic and international markets is controlled and inspected
by official sources in order to guarantee consistent high quality for
consumers.
īļ It includes field inspection, seed quality tests and pre & post
quality check.
īļ Certification is a voluntary process but labelling is compulsory.
33. CONCEPT OF SEED CERTIFICATION
Concept of seed certification was originated in Sweden during 20th Century by
visiting agronomist and plant breeder to the progressive farmers, who took
seeds from them, primarily with the objective of educating them on how to
avoid contamination. This initiated field inspection process.
âĸ In India the field evaluation of the seed crop and its certification started with
the establishment of National Seed Corporation (NSC) in 1963.
âĸ The seeds act of 1966 provided the required impetus for the establishment of
official seed certification agencies by the states.
âĸ Maharashtra was the first state to establish an official seed certification
agencies during 1970 as part of department of agriculture.
34. PRINCIPLES OF FORMING SEED CERTIFICATION AGENCY
ī It should not involve in seed production and marketing.
ī It should have autonomy.
ī Seed certification procedure adopted should be uniform throughout
the country.
ī It should closely be associated with technical institutes.
ī It should operate on a no profit and no loss basis.
ī It should have adequate technical staff and facilities for timely
inspection of seed fields.
ī It should serve for the interests of seed producers and buyers.
35. ELEGIBILITY REQUEIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION
A variety to become eligible for seed certification
should meet the following requirements :
ī General requirements
ī Specific requirements
ī Field standards
ī Seed standards

49. QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION THROUGH
SEED VILLAGE SCHEME
âA seed villageâ is a village where trained group of farmers are involved in
production 'of seeds of various crops and cater to the needs of themselves,
fellow farmers of the village and farmers of neighbouring villages in
appropriate time and at affordable cost.
To produce better quality of seeds through farmersâ participation, a new
initiative to Participatory Seed Production. This is a novel scheme of Govt. of
India run by State Agricultural Department.
CONCEPT OF SEED VILLAGE:
īą Organizing seed production in cluster (or) compact area
īą Replacing existing local varieties with new high yielding varieties.
īą Increasing the seed production
īą To meet the local demand, timely supply and reasonable cost
īą Self sufficiency and self reliance of the village
īą Increasing the seed replacement rate
Example: Gontra Village of Chakdah Block, WB, Kulgachi Village under
Krishnanagar Block 1
50. PATICIPATORY SEED PRODUCTION BY
DIFFERENT AGRICULTURAL CREDIT SOCIETY

īą Revolving Fund Scheme
51. WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION
ī Promotion of woman entrepreneurs in developing countries is essential
to reduce poverty and strengthening their socio-economic status.
ī It has been observed in a no. of countries that women can participate
as entrepreneurship more efficiently in agriculture if proper facilities
are given.
ī Women are good communicator and more conscious about making
profit.
ī An intelligent woman is an Efficient Manager and can handle her
business more effectively through SHG.
ī It is a holistic approach for rural women empowerment and through
which poverty can be reduced significantly.

53. SCOPE OF QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION IN
DRY TRACT
īĩ Moreover 40 % of food grain production comes from dry lands. India will
need 308.5 mt of food grains by 2030 to feed the growing population
īĩ At present, 3 ha of dry land crop produce cereal grain equivalent to
that produced in one ha irrigated area
īĩ Almost 80% of maize (Zea mays) and Jowar, 90% of Bajra and
approximately 95% of pulses and 75% of oilseeds are obtained from
dryland agriculture.
54. SCOPE OF QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION IN
HORTICULTURE
īļ Vegetable are bestowed with title of protective food as being rich in
vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates mineral salts etc
īļ In developing countries like like india , vegetables plays a tremendous
role in alleviating the malnutrition and improved nutritional standard.
īļ India holds the second position in vegetable producer after china.
īļ The total production of vegetables has increased from 23.4 MT in
1961-62 to the tune of 162.89 MT in 2013-14.
īļ By following appropriate seed production techniques in vegetable
crop the growers can be able to produce quality seed for own use and
on the other hand can fetch handsome remuneration by selling seeds.
īļ The overall vegetable production with respect to quantity and quality
can gain rapid momentum.
55. SCOPE OF ORGANIC SEED
PRODUCTION
At the simplest level,organic seedâ means planting seed (i.e. âcertifiedâ seed)
that is produced and audited to internationally recognised organic agricultural
production standards, i.e. âcertified organicâ.
REASON TO GROW ORGANIC SEED:
īą The market is expanding for organic products
īą Consumers have concerns about environment and pesticides residues
STATUS OF ORGANIC SEED PRODUCTION OF DIFFERENT CROP:
India produced around 1.35 million MT (2015-16) of certified organic products
which includes all varieties of food products namely Sugarcane, Oil Seeds,
Cereals & Millets, Cotton, Pulses, Medicinal Plants, Tea, Fruits, Spices, Dry
Fruits, Vegetables, Coffee etc.
Among all the states, Madhya Pradesh has covered largest area under organic
certification followed by Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan.
EXPORTS:The total volume of export during 2015-16 was 263687 MT. The
organic food export realization was around 298 million USD.
56. THRUST AREA OF SEED PRODUCTION IN
INDIA
īą Promotion of seed production unit/agency for Varietal development
and plant variety protection
īą Infrastructure development , seed production, processing and
marketing
īą Targeting export of seed and planting material
īą Strengthening rural youth and women for seed production ,
certification and marketing
īą Utilization of bio technology in seed production and germ plasm
conservation.
īą Seed Replacement for self pollinated crops
īą Transgenic Plant Varieties
īą Promotion of Domestic Seed
īą Strengthening of monitoring system
57. CONCLUSION
