Studies on seed production, sampling, testing, conditioning, distribution and storage are also included. The author concentrates himself to bring elements of seed technology at one place in a simple applied way.The book comprises of 10 chapters which covers two broad groups of seed technology and seed pathology i.e., seed structure, seed germination, seed treatment, seed collection, seed dormancy, seed production, seed testing with line diagrams of almost all the objectionable seed-born diseases, weeds and insect pests and the procedures in a simpler manner.This book is written for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students or a layperson interested in seed technology.
