Seed Multiplication

Definition of Seed
Seed is a basic agricultural input
and it is an embryo, embedded in
the food storage tissue.
Seed is also defined as a matured
ovule which consists of an
embryonic plant with storage of
food and surrounded by a
protective seed coat.
Every farmer
should able to
access healthy
seeds which are
Genetically pure,
with high seed vigor
and good
Germination
percentage.
Timely availability of good quality seeds at
reasonable price ensures good yield and profit to
the farmers. The seeds plays a vital role in
agriculture and acts as a carrier of the genetic
potential of varieties.
Seed Multiplication
• Seed is the cheapest and basic input
for sustained agricultural
production. At the time of release of
a variety, small quantity of seed
normally known as nucleus seed is
available with the plant breeder.
Commercial quantity of seed is
produced after a series of
multiplication steps.
Multiplication and distribution of high quality seed of
improved varieties is a crucial step in the agricultural
production of any country.

Multiplication of Variety
• The benefits of an improved variety are not
released unless enough true seed has been
produced for its commercial spread. The initial
amount of pure seed which is limited in
quantity is multiplied under following stages,
• Breeders seed
• Foundation seed
• Registered seed
• Certified seed
Stages of Seed Multiplication
Breeders seed
• Breeder seed is the seed or the vegetative
propagating materials produced by the
breeder who developed the particular variety.
• Breeder seed is genetically pure.
• In case of self-pollinated species, mass
selection is regularly practiced to maintain the
genetic purity of the variety.
Foundation seed
• Foundation seed is obtained from breeder seed
by direct increase.
• Foundation seed is genetically pure and is the
source of registered and/or certified seed.
• Production of foundation seed is responsibility of
SCPPC (Seed Certification and Plant Protection
Centre, Gannoruwa, Peradeniya.)
• Foundation seed is produced on Government
farms, at Research stations or by competent seed
growers under strict supervision of experts.
Registered seed
• Registered seed is produced from foundation
seed or from registered seed.
• Genetically pure and used to produce certified
seed or registered seed.
• It is usually produced by progressive farmers
according to technical advice and supervision
provided by SCPPC
Certified seed
• Certified seed is produced from foundation,
registered or certify seed.
• This is so known because it is certified by the
SCPPC as suitable seed for raising a good crop.
• The certified seed is annually produced by
progressive farmers according to standard seed
production practices.
• To be certified ,the seed must meet the
prescribed requirements regarding purity and
quality.
Requirements for Certified seed
• Genetic Purity - Absence of seeds of other varieties of
the same crop species as well as of other
crop species
• Physical Purity – freedom of seed from inert matter
(sand, pebbles) and defective seed (broken,
diseased, infested)
• High Germination Rate
• Freedom from weed seeds
• Freedom from Diseases
• Optimum moisture content (for efficient processing
and storage)
Operations Essential to a Seed Industry
• Breeding of New Varieties
• Seed Multiplication
• Seed processing
• Seed certification
• Seed Storage
• Marketing and Distribution
• Publicity

Seed multiplication

  • 2. Definition of Seed Seed is a basic agricultural input and it is an embryo, embedded in the food storage tissue. Seed is also defined as a matured ovule which consists of an embryonic plant with storage of food and surrounded by a protective seed coat.
  • 3. Every farmer should able to access healthy seeds which are Genetically pure, with high seed vigor and good Germination percentage. Timely availability of good quality seeds at reasonable price ensures good yield and profit to the farmers. The seeds plays a vital role in agriculture and acts as a carrier of the genetic potential of varieties.
  • 4. Seed Multiplication • Seed is the cheapest and basic input for sustained agricultural production. At the time of release of a variety, small quantity of seed normally known as nucleus seed is available with the plant breeder. Commercial quantity of seed is produced after a series of multiplication steps. Multiplication and distribution of high quality seed of improved varieties is a crucial step in the agricultural production of any country.

  • 6. • The benefits of an improved variety are not released unless enough true seed has been produced for its commercial spread. The initial amount of pure seed which is limited in quantity is multiplied under following stages, • Breeders seed • Foundation seed • Registered seed • Certified seed Stages of Seed Multiplication
  • 7. Breeders seed • Breeder seed is the seed or the vegetative propagating materials produced by the breeder who developed the particular variety. • Breeder seed is genetically pure. • In case of self-pollinated species, mass selection is regularly practiced to maintain the genetic purity of the variety.
  • 8. Foundation seed • Foundation seed is obtained from breeder seed by direct increase. • Foundation seed is genetically pure and is the source of registered and/or certified seed. • Production of foundation seed is responsibility of SCPPC (Seed Certification and Plant Protection Centre, Gannoruwa, Peradeniya.) • Foundation seed is produced on Government farms, at Research stations or by competent seed growers under strict supervision of experts.
  • 9. Registered seed • Registered seed is produced from foundation seed or from registered seed. • Genetically pure and used to produce certified seed or registered seed. • It is usually produced by progressive farmers according to technical advice and supervision provided by SCPPC
  • 10. Certified seed • Certified seed is produced from foundation, registered or certify seed. • This is so known because it is certified by the SCPPC as suitable seed for raising a good crop. • The certified seed is annually produced by progressive farmers according to standard seed production practices. • To be certified ,the seed must meet the prescribed requirements regarding purity and quality.
  • 11. Requirements for Certified seed • Genetic Purity - Absence of seeds of other varieties of the same crop species as well as of other crop species • Physical Purity – freedom of seed from inert matter (sand, pebbles) and defective seed (broken, diseased, infested) • High Germination Rate • Freedom from weed seeds • Freedom from Diseases • Optimum moisture content (for efficient processing and storage)
  • 12. Operations Essential to a Seed Industry • Breeding of New Varieties • Seed Multiplication • Seed processing • Seed certification • Seed Storage • Marketing and Distribution • Publicity
