Preface

Descriptions of crop varieties are key instruments in maintaining and monitoring quality and purity of seeds. The descriptions of all crop varieties approved for cultivation in Sindh province have been compiled in one volume to facilitate Seed Certification staff, Pre-basic and Basic seed producers, private seed companies and registered seed growers. This compilation work is based on available record with FSC&RD offices at Hyderabad, Sakrand and Sukkur. Some additional resources were provided by CCRI Sakrand and Cotton Section ARI Tando Jam. The descriptions of crop varieties have been re-formatted in accordance with revised “Crop Variety Descriptors” already compiled and distributed among the stakeholders. The wheat varieties still on the approved list of varieties but not in certified seed production chain have been omitted due to practical reasons. Descriptions of wheat, cotton and oilseed varieties have been reviewed and updated after careful observations in the field of concerned breeders. Some fresh observations on seedling characters of few varieties were also added to complete the descriptions. The authors are highly grateful to Dr. Syed Akhlaq Hussain Director General FSC&RD for constant encouragement and technical guidance, which enabled production of this work. Indication of composing errors and any other suggestion to improve this work will be appreciated.
