Seed production and distribution involves judicious effort of the producer and enforcement agency. With 600 million people dependent on agriculture and related activities the job of the seed producer becomes evermore important for he is the vital link between the lab and the land. Since most of the farming community is illiterate or semi literate it the job of the government to frame rules that govern the production and distribution of quality seeds. Though seed act had been implemented in European countries at the fag end of eighteenth century India did have an act to designate seed quality parameters. This void was fulfilled during 1966 when the Seeds Act was formed followed by Seeds Rules 1968. Both were adopted during 1969 for the whole of India except Sikkim and Kashmir. Over the years with newer varieties coming into the agricultural scenario the Seeds (control) order 1983 was formed insisting on compulsory licensing of the dealer. This was made ever more stringent by bringing the seeds under the Essential Commodity Act 1955. To help multinational corporations in utilizing the manpower and knowledge base of our country the Plants varieties and fruits import into India order was passed during 1989 and amended during 1998. Signing of WTO agreement during 1995 paved the way for private sector research and development of varieties. In order to regulate such varieties and to prevent the poor Indian farmer from being exploited by scrupulous multinational corporations the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Right Act 2001 was passed. Thanks to the deliberations of Dr. Vanthana Shiva of Navdanya and Dr. Suman Sahai of Gene Campaign India not only framed rules to protect the intellectual property rights of breeds but also the rights of the farmer who had bred and maintained the traditional varieties for several generations. Encouraging domestic research and infrastructure as was done during the first decade of independence the National Seeds Policy 2002 was formulated to act as a catalyst in sustainable development of agriculture. We have attempted to bring all the above statues together to provide a glimpse of the vast legalities involved in seed production and distribution. The case studies provided are quoted as an example only and the authors are not legally bound to corroborate them. This book will be an eye opener to an undergraduate student a reference to the post graduate and an essential guide to all those who are involved in practicing seed technology. No attempt has been made to distort deviate or modify the legal paras of the act and rules as they have been extracted from the references provided at the end of this book. We also caution the readers that veracity of rules are subject to interpretation and the authors deny any responsibility if the rules quoted in the court of law without getting an authenticated copy published by government gazette. 344 pp.…

Seed production and quality. 6. Post harvest handling and storage. 7. Seed viability and vigour. 8. Seed testing. 9. Seed health. 10. Organizations and laws. 11. Books on seed science and technology. Agriculture and all crop husbandry begins and ends with seed. From being a mere propagule, seed has been made omnipotent by several technological revolutions that are incorporated into it. Hence, seed is the best extension specialist in promotion of agriculture. Seed today is knowledge in itself, just like a computer microchip, it stores vast amount of information. Study of seed science skims the surface of this knowledge pool. Seed science encompasses several schools of thought viz., seed biology, dispersal, dormancy, production, processing, testing, tagging, packing, storage, distribution, marketing and legislation. An avid reader in pursuit of acquiring information about seed would find it exhaustive. Hence the book attempts to satiate the curiosity of an intrepid academic in the form of question and answer.

Everything else can wait but not agriculture which shows the deep knowledge he possessed regarding agriculture. It is estimated that there are 30,000 farmers engaged in organic agriculture in India. With second largest arable land next only to USA, a hoary agricultural tradition, India sustains the second largest population in the world. The ancient land has been tilled since time immemorial and has seen the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires. However, agriculture is still the back bone of Indian economy providing succor to 65 percent of the population. The average age of an Indian being 25, the pangs of youth and energy need is manifold. The demographic dividend has to be milked fully if India needs to go beyond the current development rate of 8% through provision of affordable and nutritious food. Dependence of inorganic fertilizers has led to burgeoning fertilizer subsidy thus siphoning off funds that are crucial to develop irrigation potential. Application of organics for supplementing chemical fertilizers and slowly improving soil potential can usher in evergreen agriculture. This book covers the whole spectrum of organic farming starting ancient wisdom to current day research and will be useful to all those who would like to know about organic farming. (jacket).…
