be sown each season to establish a new crop. Consequently, seeds are the fundal
biological component of agricultural production. Agriculture in India is over
years old. Farmers have been breed ing, selecting and collecting enough seeds, al
years to meet their requirement. The very survival of Indian agriculture for centl

traditional seed system and local seed system (Alniekinders et aI., 1994). But, c{
rising population increased pressure on food grain production, is a great task bef(
agricultural scientists to achieve. In order to achieve the projected demand, qualit
of improved cultivars is the pre-requisite. Improved seed is a catalyst for makin!
inputs cost-effective. In spite of many efforts, seed supply particularly of food grair
is a serious concern till today...............
