Report of the Committee constituted by Chairman, under the Chairmanship of Dr. J Thomas,
Rubber Production commissioner to formulate the modalities for standardisation and
certification of planting materials/nurseries.
Background
The quality of planting materials is the back bone of any plantation crop. This is more pertinent
in rubber considering its long gestation period and economic life. There has been a wide-
ranging national concern about spurious supply of planting materials by private nurseries.
Subsequent to temporary suspension of approval of private nurseries in 1986, the nursery
business became a lucrative trade and put aside the quality and ethic. The feedback from the
extension officials from the entire rubber growing area and the multidisciplinary study by RRII
confirmed this aspect more convincingly. The study by RRII revealed that only around 11 %
nursery owners took the nursery business seriously. The seed bill 2004 is under active
consideration of the Government of India and the provisions of the bill includes mandatory
registration of nurseries, authenticity of bud wood source bushes and certification of planting
materials by designated authority. The implementation of standardisation and certification of
nurseries/planting materials will make a smooth transition to the provisions of seed bill 2004 on
its implementation. Considering all these aspects the Planting Committee held on 28 August
2013 had recommended introduction of voluntary certification of nurseries. The meeting of the
Board held on 11 September 2013 endorsed the recommendation of the Planting Committee
and Chairman constituted the committee for formulating the modalities for standardisation and
certification of planting nurseries.

Proceedings of the committee
Two meetings of the committee were convened in the chamber of Rubber
Production Commissioner under the chairmanship of Dr. J Thomas, on 17th
October 2013 and 24th October 2013. Prior to the constitution of the
committee, Rubber Production Commissioner had initiated a process for the
certification of planting materials and conducted two workshops, one at Central
Nursery, Karikkatoor, and the other at Head Office conference hall. The
participants were extension officers, scientists from RRII and experts from
outside, and discussed and formulated a draft for the good nursery practices. He
also conducted a meeting of the representatives of private nurseries and
collected their opinions in this regard. The committee discussed in detail about
this good nursery practices, the suggestions of nursery owners and other
process for the standardisation and certification of planting materials and
nurseries. The minutes of this meeting, covering the proposals and good nursery
practices, were mailed to all regional offices, RRII scientists, experts in this field
and representatives of nursery owners with a request to forward their
suggestions in this regard. Some of the recipients responded and their
suggestions were discussed in a meeting held on 18-11-2013 and made changes
to the draft proposal. The meeting held on 24-11-2013 held at Rubber
Production Commissioner’s chamber chaired by Dr. J Thomas and attended by
committee members except Dr. Tharian George again discussed and decided to
convene one more meeting to finalise the recommendations after getting more
suggestions from stake holders. On 13-02-2014 the committee again convened
and decided to not to certify private nurseries at present and to certify the
planting materials this year in the Rubber Board’s nurseries as per the standards
approved. The committee also decided to initiate the processes of certification
of planting materials of private nurseries (optional) from next year onwards. It is
also decided that for the certification the nursery should have minimum facilities
and the parameters were also decided. As per the decisions the committee
decided to prepare the final report.

Certification fee for planting materials
Recommended a fee for the certification of planting materials,
Per plant fee is fixed as Rs.5.
50 % of the fee to be paid along with application and balance to pay with
subsequent request for additional certification or along with final return.
[This fee for certification of planting materials is highly essential; if no fee or
nominal fee, the total process becomes non serious and desired impact will
not be achieved. The nursery owners can pass on the burden of the fee to the
growers and the growers will be greatly benefited by getting standard
genuine certified planting material. Thus the amount recommended by the
committee is not in higher side.]
Penalty for violation of certification norms by the nurseries
In the certification process strict vigilance is required and for violation of
certification norms stringent penalties to be implemented.

blacklisted for a minimum period of 5 years and any amount outstanding
with Rubber Board, also to be forfeited.

2. Scrutiny of application by certification committee for first screening and
release of application for first inspection – By June.
3. First inspection of the nursery- After ascertaining the receipt of at least
one consignment of seeds in the nursery.
4. Second screening of applications based on the reports of certification
committee.
5. Second inspection including the verification of registers and tagging of
plants with stipulated standard, in the second fortnight of April to last

required, returns up to that period must be submitted along with
request. Final return should be submitted to the certifying committee
before 31st of succeeding January.
