StrategicPlanningCertified Seed
This is the progeny of foundation seed (up tothree generations) of a cultivar within a seedcertification scheme.
The seeds are produced according to anofficially approved and monitored program.Certified seed produced from certified seed isnot eligible for further seed increase.

StrategicPlanningCommercial Seed
This is the stock of seed produced fromfoundation seed, but not within the framework ofa seed certification scheme.The majority of vegetable seeds used by farmersare in this category.

Excess rain or drought during flowering affect seedset and result in low seed yields. Seed quality isalso affected by environmental stress during seedfilling stages

StrategicPlanningEffect of climate on seed quality…..cont.
Cole crops (cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, Brussels sprout) needvernalization for bolting (, 10 oC for six weeks)Onions need cool weather during initial stages of crop growth, butrequire warm and dry conditions for seed maturation and harvesting.Plants grown at 15-16 oC yielded more high quality seed than thosegrown at 22-23 oC.Tomato plants grow well at temperatures of 18-27 oC; fruit and seedsetting is affected by high temperature and low humidity.Temperatures above 38 oC affect fruit set.Small radishes grow better under cooler climate, large ones withstandfluctuations of temperatureCarrot seeds are produced at higher altitudes and in cooler regionsFrench bean and peas produce quality seeds under cooler conditionsCucumber, melon and gourds prefer hot and dry or humid climate forgrowthMuskmelon seeds produced in humid conditions are of inferior quality.

StrategicPlanningEffect of cultural practices on seed quality
Seeds are either sown directly in the field or seedlings are raised in anursery and transplanted after 4-6 weeks at appropriate spacing inthe field.Well drained humus-rich and fertile soils are most suited forvegetable cultivationSupport is provided to the young plant if needed (tomato, eggplant,beans)Timely weeding, irrigation (fruit set and seed filling are criticalstages), and adequate fertilizers must be providedN+P applications improve seed vigor (constituents of proteins andphospholipids for cell membrane integrity)Deficiency of calcium affects seed quality in muskmelonPlants must be protected against insects and pathogens

StrategicPlanningEffect of cultural practices … cont.
Crop rotationCrop rotation ensures the maintenance of goodsoil structure and fertility.It will affect the incidence of soil-borne pests anddiseases which will affect growth of plants andseed yield.It also affects the occurrence of volunteer plantswhich reduce the quality of the seeds produced.

StrategicPlanningEffect of isolation (by distance, time, barriers) & rogueing
Genetic purity is an important parameter of seed quality.It is affected by genetic contaminations and genetic driftin the field.Pollen contamination is prevented by removing weeds orrelated plants and by providing isolation distance.The isolation distance is about 50 m for self-pollinatedcrops (tomato, garden peas, French bean) and 1,000 to1,600 m for cross-pollinated crops (cole crops, onion,cucurbits).Contamination is relevant during flowering: frequentinspection and removal of off-types can help maintaingenetic purity.Rogueing can be done at vegetative, flowering andmautrity stage of plants.

StrategicPlanningSeed maturity affects seed quality
Seed viability and vigor are highest at the mature fruit stage and arelower with early or late harvest of the cropIn onion, seed maturity is associated with rapid reduction inchlorophyll and water content, increase in dry weight, as well asgerminationPepper seeds are allowed to mature for up to one week within redfruits after harvest for maxim germinationFruit cracks in okra indicate maximum seed germination and vigorTomato and pepper: fruits must be fully redIn cucurbits (watermelon), fruits are kept on the vine for some timeto allow for complete maturity of the seedsSeed maturity can be estimated by measuring chlorophyllfluorescence: the amount of chlorophyll is directly related to thedegreening process and maturity.

StrategicPlanningFruit and seed position on mother plant
In muskmelon, fruit position on mother plant influences seed qualityWith increasing fruit numbers per plant, there is a reduction in fruitweight, seed weight and viabilitySeeds from early pickings of tomatoes show higher seed qualityPepper seeds from fruits formed on main stem, first and sec.branches have high seed weight and germination; plants from theseseeds are more productive and have better disease resistance thanplants from seeds on 3rd or 4th order branches appearing later.Okra, eggplant: best quality seeds obtained from fruits borne atlower nodesSeed position in fruit: In pepper and eggplant, seed from the basalportion showed higher viability and vigor than those from middle andtip portion of fruit (source-sink relationship)
2008Global
StrategicPlanningInsect pests and diseases
Seed carry pathogens internally or externally; these multiply onsowing, affecting crop productivity and seed qualityInsects and pathogens on seeds cause shriveling, discoloration,decay, low germination and vigorPathogens thrive on injured seed, with high seed moisture content,high storage temperature, and with good aeration in field or storageInsects are often found in seeds of pod vegetables such as cowpea,French bean, and pea.Seeds extracted from infected, rotten fruits are of inferior qualityThe microorganisms produce heat and toxins during storage, andinduce biochemical changesFungal pathogens (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Penicellium,Cladosporium) are mainly responsible for seed deterioration andreduced viability.
