dc.description.abstract | Quality seed is the key input for realizing potential productivity. The main criteria for describing seed quality are purity, germination percentage and vigour of seeds. In most of the crops, the small and marginal farmers depend on their own farm saved seeds for crop production. Moreover, the crops are raised for market and a small portion of the grains are separated, stored and used as seeds in the next season which may not meet the quality aspects as expected for a seed which results in poor field stand and ultimately low yield. Despite implementation of the organized seed programme, there exists an alarming gap between the demand and supply of quality seeds. The immediate increase in the productivity and production of these crops can be achieved by a higher distribution of quality seeds of new and high yielding varieties. In this context, the concept of seed village which advocates village self-sufficiency in multiplication and distribution of quality seeds is getting momentum. Keeping the above facts in mind, Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), CAZRI, Pali (Rajasthan) India started the seed village programme in selected villages during 2009-10. Under this, quality seeds of improved varieties of prominent crops of the area namely, Ajwain (AA-1), Fenugreek (RMt 305), Fennel (RF-125) and Cumin (GC-4) were distributed by the KVK to the identified farmers. A number of trainings on seed production technology to the identified farmers in the seed villages were also arranged for technology empowerment of farmers regarding isolation distance, sowing practices, seed treatment, off type plant and other agronomic practices. The farmers used these quality seeds and took their own seed multiplication in operational area which showed a considerable spread of improved variety in nearby villages. Thus there is vast scope to produce and distribute quality seed in most crops for which seed village concept is a novel and highly practical approach and needs to be promoted. | en_US |
