Field Inspection

Class of seed

Nuclear seed-this is 100% genetically pure seed with physical purity and produced by the
original breed or institute or Street agriculture University from basic nucleus seed stock. A
Pedigree certificate issued by the producing breeder.
Breeder seed-the progeny of nucleus seed multiplied in large area as per indent of department
of agriculture and cooperation, ministry of agriculture, government of India, under the
supervision of plant breeder, institute or says and monitored by a committee consisting of the
representative of state seed certification agency for national seed corporation, ICAR nominee
and concerned breeder. This is also hundred percent physical and genetic pure seed for
production of foundation seed.a golden yellow colour certificate is issued for this category of
seed by the producing breeder.
Foundation seed-the progeny of breeder seed produced by recognise seed producing agencies
in public and private sector and the supervision of seed certification agency in such a way that
its quality is maintain according to prescribed field add set standard.a white colour certificate
is issued for foundation seed by the seed certification agencies.
Certified seeds-the progeny of foundation seed produced by a registered seed grow under
supervision of seed certification agencies to maintain the seed quality as for minimum seed
certification standard.a blue colour seed certificate issued by seed certification agencies for
this category of seed

Genetic purity

genetic purity refers to prune as to type or the degree of contamination of seeds caused by
undesired genetic variety or [Link] genetic purity of any commercial agricultural product
propagated by seed begins with the purity of the seed planted. In general,the genetic purity of
the seed planted must be equal or exceed the final product purity standard required as purity
generally decrease with each subsequent generation of [Link] practice practical seed
genetic purity standards have been established by State seed laws and by seed certification
agencies to ensure that the purchaser receives seed that is within certain purity [Link]
maintenance of genetic purity of a hybrid seed is a complicated requiring elaborate process
.the nucleus seed of inbred lines can be maintained by self pollination or a combination of two
procedure.

Seed control Order, 1983

Characteristics of good quality seed

The characteristics of good quality seed are

1. High genetic purity-breeder or nucleus seed 100%, foundation seed 99.5%, certified seed
99%
2. High physical purity for certification
3. Position of good shape size colour according to the specification of variety.
4. high physical soundness and weight
5. High physiological vigor and stamina.
6. Free from other crop seeds
7. High storage capacity
8. it should be free from diseases
9. It should be free from objectionable weed seed as the weed species are harmful in many
 ways
10. it should have high market value
[Link] should have optimum moisture content for storage for long-term storage 6 to8% and for
short-term store is 10 to 13%

PPV & FR Act, 2001

The protection of plant varieties and farmers rights act, 2001 is an act of the Parliament of
India which is enacted to provide for the establishment of an effective system for protection of
plant varieties,the rights of farmers and plant breeder and to encourage the development and
cultivation of new varieties of the plant. It was interested to grant intellectual property right to
plant breeders, farmers and researchers who has developed any new or extant plant
[Link] intellectual property right granted under this act is a duel right ,one is for the
variety and the other is for the denomination assigned to it by the [Link] rights granted
under this act are heritable and assignable and only the registration of a plant variety confers
the [Link] farmers are entitled to save use ,sell or exchange their farm products including
seed of a registered variety in an unbranded Manor

Write the differences between seed and grain?

In seed production follow a well-designed seed program while in grain no designed seed
program for production is [Link] case of seeds varietal purity of seed is identified and is
genetically pure while in grains varietal purity is not known. In seed production process quality
standards like removal of of type seeded plants or weed plants and other crop plants are
carried out while in case of grains quality standards are not followed.fields have physical purity
and good germination while in case of grains physical purity and germination is not insured.
Scientific seed production follow the processing, treatment, packaging and labelling process
while in case of grainssthese methods are not [Link] of seed is done in a controlled
condition while grains are drives in higher temperature and thus the quality of the seeds are
affected. Seed should be a viable one while grain not need to be a viable one.fields should have
maximum seed certification standards while in case of grain no certification standards is
[Link] rate and other physiological and biological process are kept at low level
during storage in case of seed while no such requirement is mentioned in case of [Link]
should compulsory be certified or truthfully labelled while no such condition is there in case of
grain [Link] should be completely treated with pesticides or fungiside to protect it
against storage pest and fun Jai while green should never be treated with any chemical since
its used for the purpose of consumption
What is seed certification?

Seed certification is a legacy sanction system for quality control and seed multiplication and
production. It involves field inspection pre and post control test and seed quality test. Purpose
of seed certification-to maintain and make available to the farmers through certification high
quality seeds and propagating materials of notified kinds and variety. 10 years are so grown as
to ensure genetic identity and genetic purity. The eligibility for certification of crop variety-seats
of only those variety which are notified under section 5 of seed act 1966 shall be eligible for
certifi[Link] seeds is exempted from certification only foundation and certified seed
class seeds may come under certification .breeder seed is produced by the plant breeder which
is inspected by a monitoring team consisting of breeder representative of seed agency
representative of NSC. Phases of seed certification process 1 receipt and scrutiny of
application 2 verification of seed source 3 field inspection 4 post harvest supervision of seed
crops 5 seed sampling and testing 6 labelling, tagging, sealing and Grant of certificate.

Write in brief about role of WTO & OECD in seed marketing?

What are the factors affecting longevity of seed in storage?

The factors affecting the longevity of seed in storage are neem leaves temperature, nature of
seed, seed moisture content, relative [Link] increase in temperature and moisture me
promote fungal growth and insect development in [Link] on the duration and
methods adopted drying and long-term storage may lead to considerable reduction in
germination or to eventually death of [Link] storage if the seed is not properly dried then
high moisture content may reduce the seed viability by promoting fungal growth.
Kind of variety of seed is also an important factor which affect the seed storage .feed store
ability is considered to be influenced by the kind of variety of seed. Some seeds are short lived
for example onion soybean and [Link] general starchy seeds can be stored considerable
e for a longer period of time when compared to oil seeds.
Initial seed quality-phir Laut have plumpy aur vigrah sun damage seeds store longer than that
of deteriorated. The low quality seed should be rejected.
Moisture content-the important factor influencing seed viability during storage is the moisture
content and the rate of the tour reaction increases as the seed moisture increases. Dryer the
seed higher will be the storage life.
Relative humidity and temperature during the storage-seeds are hygroscopic dehati in radar
specific and characteristic moisture content when subjected to a level of atmospheric humidity
at a particular [Link] barium moisture content for a particular kind of seed at a
given relative humidity tends to increase as temperature decreases and the deterioration of
seeds [Link] the maintenance of moisture content of seed during storage is an important
factor.
 Provenance-the seed harvested in different climate on a different time show difference in
viability because they would have been subjected to different pre-harvest condition which will
have caused different amount of determination at time and seeds are harvested.
The activity of organism associated with scene in storage-the bacteria funds ,insects rodents
may do harm to seats in [Link] general limit of temperature and relative humidity for the
multiplication of various biological agents infesting seeds stores should be maintained.
