Seed production is a complex process. Rigorous production procedures are followed by both the seed producer and seed companies to ensure that high quality seed is produced and marketed. Quality seed is rightly termed as the carrier of technology, because the benefit, which accrued from the use of quality seed is in terms of not only higher productivity but it also, checks the spread of various seed-borne diseases and weeds. Seed science being a refined subject is expanding at a faster pace, which is a healthy sign, and so does, the number of words and jargons. This makes it impossible to remember every term and its meaning. It is at this stage that the lexicon comes handy. The purpose of bringing out this book of terminology is to present a convenient and concise source of precise definition of terms used in seed science and technology to our readers engaged in research, teaching and development of agriculture. The book will be relished by both beginners as well as experienced workers of seed science. The manuscript was prepared keeping in view the need of graduate students both at junior and senior levels.

Amid'st the turmoil, Dr. Ghosh's only true friend Miss Gipsy banerjee cam forward, with lot of affection, love & care, which again rejuvenated dr. Ghosh to complete his LLB degree course and be what he is today. At that point of time perhaps fate was too harsh with him, as all his fathers students well wishers & relatives thought to look the other way, except only two persons,-Biman Bose, presently Chairman Left Front, who provided him the required fatherly care & Gipsy Banerjee who provided the motherly affection. As joining the bar Council, was not his sole objective, he completed his MA in Public Administration and thereafter to quench his thirst of further education, he completed his PhD degree under the supervision of the legendary [political scientist Dr. (Prof) S K Chaturvedi.
