Seed science and technology is apparently a new subject, but is going to be very important and vital in agricultural science. Good quality seed is the basic factor/item for better harvest with higher yield. Assured and sustainable higher yield of 10-15% is possible by using quality (certified) seeds. 'Good seed does not cost, it pays', therefore is no longer a myth, but a well known, well established and well accepted fact. This book deals with almost all the important aspects of seed science and technology viz. Seed science; seed quality testing: seed technology: seed act and seed l;aw and maintenance of Germplasm in five chapters and also in annexure.

The information generated in these areas through continuous research activities in Indian and abroad.
