Description India is the fourth largest oilseed economy in the world. Among the seven edible oilseeds cultivated in India, rapeseed-mustard contributes 28.6% in the total oilseeds production and ranks second after groundnut sharing 27.8% in the India’s oilseed economy. The mustard growing areas in India are experiencing the vast diversity in the agro climatic conditions and different species of rapeseed-mustard are grown in some or other part of the country. Under marginal resource situation, cultivation of rapeseed-mustard becomes less remunerative to the farmers. This results in a big gap between requirement and production of mustard in India. Therefore site-specific nutrient management through soil-test recommendation based should be adopted to improve upon the existing yield levels obtained at farmers field. Effective management of natural resources, integrated approach to plant-water, nutrient and pest management and extension of rapeseed-mustard cultivation to newer areas under different cropping systems will play a key role in further increasing and stabilizing the productivity and production of rapeseed-mustard. The paper reviews the advances in proper land and seedbed preparation, optimum seed and sowing, planting technique, crop geometry, plant canopy, appropriate cropping system, integrated nutrient management and so forth to meet the ever growing demand of oil in the country and to realize the goal of production of 24 million tonnes of oilseed by 2020 AD through these advanced management techniques.
With a view to enhancing the production of certified seeds and to ensure their adequate availability to the farmers at Govt. approved sale rate, Odisha State Seeds Corporation limited has been designated as the nodal agency for production and distribution of certified seeds to the farmers of the state. In order to diversify its operations in the area of certified seed production and distribution and also to avail the benefit of financial assistance under Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, (ISOPOM), production of certified seeds of oilseeds, pulses will be undertaken by OSSC through certified seed producing organizers in addition to its own seed village scheme.
The present study is intended primarily as a research initiative to serve as the basis of making an in depth analysis of the issues relating to the production, processing and marketing aspects of the MUSTARD SEEDS. However, there is an urgent need for the State Seed Corporations also to transform themselves in tune with the industry in terms of infrastructure, technologies, approach and the management culture to be able to survive in the competitive market and to enhance their contribution in the national endeavour of increasing food production to attain food & nutritional security.It also attempts to put forth suggestions to improve the mustard seed sector in the state. Some issues related to seed multiplication and delivery systems in India are discussed here.
