    I B P S S Seed Technological Innovations for Self-Sufficiency in Oilseeds and Pulses by S K Rao S K Sharma R R Hanchinal M Yasin

    Seed is the basic and crucial input for sustained growth in agricultural production. Seeds are not only the repository of the genetic potential of crop species, but are also the carrier of other technologies. Quality seed acts as a catalyst for realizing the potential of all other inputs in agriculture. In order to ensure the availability of high-quality seeds of the improved varieties, considerable progress has been made with respect to development of technologies relevant to seed production, processing, testing, quality control, seed treatment, storage, etc. However, farmers’ access to quality seed is still a challenge. This necessitates to bring together the seed scientists, state govt. officials, extension personnel, policy makers and seed industry leaders of the country as well as farmers to review the progress made in seed sector and discuss the new leads, novel technologies in seed multiplication, testing, processing, storage, quality assurance, marketing and distribution; seed policies and legislations, problems and opportunities in the domestic seed supply and export markets, IPR and seed trade issues. In this regard, 11th National Seed Congress on “Recent Advances in Research on Quality Seeds for Self-sufficiency in Oilseeds and Pulses” provided a unique forum for the formulation of policies and technology strategies to ensure the welfare and economic prosperity of the farmers though seed-based interventions. This edited book is a compilation of all lead papers which includes recent advances in seed research which may be highly useful for scientists, extension workers, seed growers, and students for achieving self-sufficiency in oilseeds and pulses. The book focuses on the major themes of quality seed productions and covers the topics like genetic resource management, maintenance and protection; crop diversification and utilization of rice fallows for quality seed production; innovative cropping systems and management; seed production technologies; development, validation and management of seed systems; innovative approaches in seed quality assistance; maintenance of seed quality during storage; seed quality enhancement for improved seed delivery; recent advancements in seed health management; institutions of effective partnerships for augmenting seed availability; seed industry challenges and remedies; role of seed extension system and farmers expectation; seed development schemes, policies and regulatory issues, etc.
