1. SEED SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW 1.1 Introduction

About 74% of the total population of India lives in villages and are engaged in agriculture. Increase in agricultural production not only makes the country self reliant on agriculture produce but uplifts the poor status of our farmers also. It is generally accepted that genetically good quality seed alone can increase the production upto 20%. Farmers need quality seeds of improved high yielding varieties to grow in their fields. In the absence of high quality seeds, farmers continue to use their own seeds i.e. crops produce on their farms. Ideally, this retained produce cannot be substituted for high quality seeds because it lacks genetic vigor and has poor germination. Also, its resistance to disease and pests decreases in the subsequent generation. Thus, availability of certified seeds of right varieties has become crucial. Timely availability of seeds requires proper advance planning. Certified seeds need in (n)th year implies that in (n-1)th year we require the adequate amount of foundation seed which intern implies that sufficient amount of breeder seed is required in (n-2)th year. Thus in order to supply adequate amount of quality seed to farmers, one needs to take care of foundation and breeder seeds also. It is quite difficult to estimate the demand of seeds in particular season because the demand changes with marginal changes in weather during sowing season for which any crop variety is too short to manage supply.

1.2 Seed Industry

The importance of high quality seeds was recognized by Government of India since long. During fifties, the State Governments were encouraged to set up large sized farms for augmenting the seed production. Research stations were set up under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and State Agriculture Universities (SAU’s) have taken up breeding programme for all the major crops grown in their respective areas. During sixties, attention was paid for the creation of infrastructure facilities for the production and distribution of improved seed. In 1961, seed testing laboratories were setup to strengthen the quality control measures. India is a member of the International Seed Testing Association. In 1963, National Seeds Corporation (NSC) was setup with the responsibility of promoting the development of healthy seed industry in the country. Apart from production and distribution, the NSC was also entrusted with the responsibility of establishing a network of seed processing, storage facilities, quality control arrangements and seed certification. After the establishment of State Seed Corporations (SSCs), NSC is engaged in inter-state production and distribution of seeds i.e. Supplementing the efforts of SSCs. The primary objective of NSC now is to look after the requirement of the



seed deficit states. Seed Act was legislated in 1966 to maintain the purity of seeds and further enhancing the quality control measures. In 1969, the Central Variety Release Committee and Central Seed Committee were constituted to work in coordination with the NSC. In 1974-75, two National Seeds Projects (NSP-I and NSP-II) were launched and production of seeds was decentralized. State Seeds Corporations were setup primarily for multiplication and distribution of certified seeds. The main emphasis of the NSP’s was on creating a national institutional framework for support and coordination of all facets of production, storage, marketing and quality control of certified seeds.

1.3 National Seeds Project Phase-III (NSP-III)

NSP-III was launched in March, 1990 at a total cost of 236.01 crore with the World Bank assistance of US $ 150 million. It has two major components viz. Project Component and Programme Component to achieve the following objectives:

• To assist the farmers by ensuring timely and adequate availability of

certified/ quality seeds of suitable varieties at reasonable prices; • To improve the working efficiency of National and State level Public

Sector Seed Corporations as to make them economically viable; and • To provide facilities for the growth of private seed sector industry through

adequate institutional finance. 1.4 Breeder Seed Production and Research

Seed research and breeder seed production are carried out at number of research stations of ICAR located at Central Research Institutes and State Agriculture Universities.

Research in breeder seed includes arrangement for getting germplasm both from internal and external sources, plant breeding and developing new strains. Import of germplasm is controlled and channeled through National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi. The interested breeder whether with the ICAR, Universities or private companies notifies the NBPGR about germplasm or seed he wishes to import. The NBPGR receives certain quantity of seed or germplasm directly from the institute or company along with the phytosanitary certificate. The NBPGR quarantines the material and conducts certain tests and if satisfied sanctions import clearance for a specified quantity. It is mandatory for the importers that certain quantity of such seed or germplasm be permanently deposited with the NBPGR.

Private breeders have concentrated their research activity mainly on hybrid seeds. These companies develop their own lines of vegetables, millets, cotton,



oilseeds etc. So far, private companies have developed more than 100 varieties and nearly 70% of these are hybrids.

Breeder seed production is organised by ICAR. After receiving the state-wise variety-wise indent of breeder seed, ICAR organises the crop workshop and breeders are allocated the quantity to be produced by them. There is no certification of breeder seed as of foundation and certified seed, so to ensure the quality of breeder seed, field inspections are carried out during the production at different stages. This monitoring team consists of nominated members from ICAR and NSC besides the breeder.

1.5 Variety Release and Notification

To ensure the quality of seed supplied to farmers, the Seed Act was passed in Parliament in 1966, which came into effect in 1969 after the framing of Seed Rules (1968). Under the Act, Central Seed Committee, a Central Seed Laboratory and State Seed Testing Laboratories are set up. The Central Seed Committee (CSC) acts as advisor to the Government of India on all matters related to seed. CSC further constituted Central Sub-Committees called Central Sub-Committee on Crop Standards Notifications and Release of Varieties at Central Level and State Seed subcommittees at state level. Central Seed Committee on Notification & Release of Varieties is headed by DDG(CS) of the ICAR and processes all proposals on various varieties to be released & notified for different areas. The Central Sub-Committee consists of officers from the Ministry of Agriculture, ICAR, Seed Producing Organizations, Seed Traders and Farmers. In addition, plant breeders are co-opted as members. All the state Directors of Agriculture are the members of this subcommittee. This Central Sub-Committee after receiving the recommendations of the State Governments (State level subcommittees are offshoots of Central Seed Committee and advise state governments on all seed matters), notifies the variety for different areas and prescribes minimum standards of germination and purity for labeling of seeds. The Figure 2 shows various stages involved in Notification and Release of Varieties.

1.6 Foundation & Certified Seed Production

Production of Foundation and certified seed are the stages of seed multiplication. Foundation seed is produced from breeder seed and certified seed from foundation seed and their production are organised by public sector organizations, cooperatives and private companies either at their own farms or at the farms of contract farmers. These agencies enter into agreements with the contract farmers regarding procurement of seeds etc. These agencies require to plan in advance for the requirement of breeder and/or foundation seeds. It is one year of advance planning for foundation seed and two years for breeder seed to arrange production of certified or truthfully labeled seed in specific season. Usually the requirement is calculated on the basis of seed multiplication ratio and their past performance in multiplying the seeds. Requirement of breeder is intimated to Seed Division (GOI) who in turn passes it to ICAR, the nodal agency for arranging the production of breeder seeds. After getting the final production figure from all the breeders ICAR passes this information to Seed Division. Seed Division then allots the breeder seed to indenters on the basis of production of breeder seed, their indent, past performance in achieving the seed multiplication ratio etc. Indenters then lift the breeder seed from specified locations and supply the necessary quantity of seeds to contract farmers for producing foundation seeds. The Figure-3 and Figure-4 depict flow of information in foundation seed production and certified seed production respectively.

1.7 Seed Processing

Seed produced on growers field is taken to the nearest processing plant of the concerned agency at the farmers cost. Raw seed obtained at the plant might contain foreign matter like dust, chaff, other seeds, undersize and broken seeds etc. Seed processing basically is removing all these foreign matters. This is an essential process to achieve the desired quality of seeds. Careful processing of seeds could separate the poor quality seeds from a seed lot. The left over is called low grade seed. The good seed so separated is tested for its purity and germination on the basis of prescribed standard. The lots which fail to satisfy these standards are rejected. Further, there is a loss in weight due to drying up. Processing capacity is calculated on the wheat seed basis, assuming 100 days of operation on double shift gain and 80% efficiency. Underutilization of processing capacity of processing plants results in higher overhead costs.

1.8 Seed Storage

In India there are basically two crop seasons: Kharif and Rabi. Kharif season is more important. The kharif seed crop starts reaching the plants in December and its processing continues till April end. In May, certified/labeled seeds are dispatched to various centres for timely availability in the beginning of the season. Seeds are required to be kept in safe storage since they are harvested in the preceding season and usually used for sowing in the subsequent season often after a time gap of six months or longer. Thus, proper storage is required to keep seeds in good condition. Some varieties need air-conditioned storage. Storage costs are also added in order to derive the cost of seeds.

1.9 Seed Distribution

Seed is marketed through network of distributors and dealers. The private seed companies market seed through a network of distributors and dealers. They include primary cooperatives, societies for SSCs and cooperative seeds. A distributor is appointed generally for a district. In some areas, depending upon the demand potential the companies appoint two or even three distributors in the district. The distributors, in turn, appoint dealers within the district on a nonexclusive basis. The distributors indent seed with the companies well in advance (e.g. in December for kharif season) based on their previous experience.

Estimation of seed demand is a very complex issue. Seed demand is influenced by several factors, like:



• Climate/seasonal conditions (rainfall pattern) • Prices both in absolute and relative terms • Varietal performance • Seed availability with farmers • Marketing and distribution channel • Packing size etc.

For hybrids, seed requirements can be estimated reasonably accurately with reference to cultivated area in view of the need for 100% replacement, but for non-hybrids assessment is relatively difficult.

1.10 Quality Control & Seed Certification

For the notified varieties, Certification Agencies are required to conform to the standards laid down in the manual known as "Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards" published by the Central Seed Committee through an amendment of Seed Rules in 1981. The Seed Act empowers the inspectors to draw samples of seed being sold by any person and get them analyzed by the seed analyst. It also empowers the inspectors to stop the sale of seed seemingly not conforming to the standards for a period of 30 days. The inspectors also have powers to search the premises and the containers in storage or in transit. Figure-5 depicts flow of information in quality control and seed certification.

3. Seed Management Information System (SMIS) 3.1 Objectives

SMIS (Seed Management Information System), a software package on seed related areas has been developed to fulfill the following objectives:

a. To upkeep databases to monitor the performance of various agencies

involved in:

- Seed production (Breeder/ Foundation/ Certified) - Seed distribution (Breeder/ Foundation/ Certified) - Seed certification (Foundation/ Certified) - Seed testing and law enforcement

b. To provide information on Requirement and Availability of seeds (C/F) so that

appropriate action can be taken in time. c. Analysis and projection of requirement of various categories of seeds in

future. d. To help in monitoring the functioning of seed corporations. e. To be able to answer ad-hoc queries in short span of time. f. To keep users abreast of salient features of varieties released/ notified.

3.2 SMIS Overview

SMIS (Seed Management Information System), an integrated, multi-user and menu-driven software package, can be used to generate various kinds of decision supportive information pertaining to breeder seed management, foundation and certified seed production, seed certification, seed law enforcement, progress report of seed testing laboratories and database of notified varieties. The online application is developed using ASP.NET and hosted on DACNET server at NIC, CGO Complex. SQL 2000 is the backend database server and .NET Crystal Reports are used for generating various MIS reports. SMIS is designed based on the Seed Supply Chain depicted in Section 2. It is divided into following subsystems:



1. Breeder Seed Management 2. Seed Production (Foundation/Certified) 3. Seed Distribution (Requirement and Availability) 4. Monitoring and Planning 5. Quality Control & Seed Certification

3.3 SMIS Sub-systems 3.3.1 Breeder Seed Management

Breeder Seed Management sub-system provides information pertaining to variety-wise indents from various seed agencies placed with Seed Division, variety-wise allocations made to various institutions by ICAR for production of breeder-seed, agency-wise, variety-wise actual production of breeder seeds, agency-wise, variety-wise allotments against indents by Seed Division and indenter-wise lifting of Breeder seed.

State Governments submit the indent for Breeder seed for National Varieties directly to the seed division of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture. Private seed companies place the indent for breeder seed through the Seed Association of India.

Indents for breeder seed are sent separately for vegetable and field crops as per the dates set by the DAC. The indents are to be sent two years before the allotment.

Allotment of breeder seed is made in March/April for Kharif sowing after about 17 months from the date of submission of indents and the allotment for Rabi sowing is made in August September after about 22 months from the date of submission of indents.

The same calendar is followed for every ensuing year for allotment of breeder seed for both crops.

A report on lifting of breeder seed and conversion of the same into Foundation Seed is submitted for every allotment made by the Ministry of Agriculture. These reports are discussed in the Zonal Seed Review Meetings.

The DAC compiles the indents received from the State Governments and the Private seed companies and submits it to ICAR for production. The production of breeder seed is given to the institutes of ICAR/SAUs from where it is lifted by the indentors for production of Foundation and Certified seed. The breeder seed producing institutes submit the planting and actual production details to the ICAR for allotment to Indentors.



(I) Breeder Seed: - Breeder Seed has six following sub modules:

(i) Indent : Indents for breeder seeds are placed to the Seed Division by State/UTs, NSC, SFCI and SAI (Seed Association of India, representing private sectors). Indenters should indent two years before Indent Year as per the dates for indent set by seed division.

(ii) Allocation : Seed Division compiles all Indents and passes it to ICAR, the nodal agency for coordinating breeder seed production program. ICAR allocates to produce the Breeder Seed to various research stations / institutes of ICARs located at State Agriculture Universities.

(iii) Planting : Producing Agencies submit the information like area under sowing, sowing date and expected production of breeder seed, on Planting to the ICAR.

(iv) Production : Producing Agencies submit the information about the Actual Production of Breeder Seed to the ICAR. ICAR in turn provides seed production details to Seed Division. Production must be done before one year from Indent Year.

(v) Allotment : Seed Division allots the Breeder Seeds to indentors based on the requirement placed and availability. Seed Division sends allotment details to Producing Agencies and Indentors.

(vi) Lifting : Indentors contact the Producing Agencies for lifting the allotted Seed. Lifting details are reported to Seed Division and ICAR by indentors and breeders respectively.

It may be possible that Seeds may not be lifted by Indentors due to following reasons:

1. Seed not available with the Breeder 2. Breeder did not supply seed to the Indentor 3. Indentor did not approach the Breeder
