Seed production

Basis of assessment: Comparison of yearly production Requirement as projected in National

Seed Plan (NSP) 2005 SRR

• Self pollinated: 25%• Cross-pollinated: 35%• HYV’s: 100%

Seed production

Assessment based on production of certified & quality seeds

Excludes availability of farm saved seed

Nearly 75 % seed used in India is farm saved

Therefore, total availability is actually higher
