Seed constitutes the most important investment in effecting successful agriculture. Quality seeds with superior genetics are indispensable to initiate remunerative agriculture with added dividends. Seed quality control concerns with purity of the seed during production and marketing, required seed germination and physical purity, free from weed seeds, pathogens and should have optimum moisture content. The seed health has assumed greater importance as the seed has to be certified to be free from objectionable seed borne pathogens. It is necessary to strengthen the seed testing laboratories in the country with proper equipment and manpower. The present book “Seed : Quality Production, Diseases and Quarantine” is a well-documented comprehensive review of significant investigations on quality seed production, diseases & management and quarantine regulations. This volume contains 10 chapters covering major titles as : Organic seed production; Scientific seed production; Crop production technologies in seed spices; General seed certification standards; Seed spices research in India; Seed production in opium; Flowering, fruiting, yield & seed quality influenced by PGRs; Integrated disease management for vegetable seed production; Biological control of seed & soil-borne plant pathogens and Plant quarantine and seed health testing. Each topic is written by an expert and offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on pertinent topic. Each chapter discusses the current status. This book will become the standard reference for variety of scholars and farmers, researchers in agriculture, plant sciences, applied biologists, breeders, a must for teachers and students engaged in teaching and research in agriculture & seed science.  aContents:
