Sowing a healthy future

The first step in growing a productive crop is sowing quality seed.

~30% share of enhanced productivity is due to the quality seeds and planting material

~Farmers still use farm saved seeds

F1 seeds contributes greatly to increase the yields, keeping quality and reduce pesticide use due to disease and pest resistance

Total vegetable seed market in India is

$ 228.182 million including OP seed ~ $ 158

million

Hybrid vegetable seed industry is $80 million

(11% of world share)

Second largest user of tomato hybrids (40t)

after USA

Largest area under hybrids of cabbage

(60%) and cauliflower (45%) of total area

AICRP Centres

29 Approved centres

25 Voluntary centres

Initially during 1971, the project

was started with seven main

centres and ten sub-centres making

a total of seventeen centres.

In the V plan three, VI plan two, VII plan two, VIII plan three and XI Plan two new centres have been added while in the VII plan one centre namely Kovilepatti has

been deleted. NSP (Veg) has been merged with AICRP(VC) in XI Five year plan.

Varieties to be included under Breeder Seed Chain

BS

o In future, the demand of high quality vegetable seed will increase many fold.

o The newly release and notified should be included in seed chain

Future Prospects

BS

Future directions

• Superior quality vegetable seeds should be available in adequate quantity

• Public and private sector to be encouraged to enhance production of quality seeds

• Upgrade the quality of farmers’ saved seeds through interventions such as the Seed Village Scheme which can facilitate production and timely availability of seed

• Seed Map to identify potential, alternative and non-traditional areas for seed production of specific crops

• Seed multiplication for building adequate stocks of certified/quality seeds by providing foundation seed to farmers.

Cont.. BS

• Conversion from breeder to certified should be monitored strictly

• Duplication of Channels for Vegetable Seed Supply to Private Sector to be avoided (through institutional licensing and allotment through DAC)

• Supply of mini seed kits to farmers for popularizing newly developed varieties and promoting seed production

• Increase share of hybrids in total seed produced

• Seed growers should avail Seed Crop Insurance to cover risk factors involved in seed production.

• Newly release and notified varieties should be included in the indent.
