Riassunto

This book provides readers with valuable information about the science and technology involved in seeds. Seeds are the result of sexual reproduction in plants and are considered the most crucial and cost-effective input in agriculture. The use of high-quality seeds from improved varieties can lead to a 20-25% increase in crop yield. Seed technology is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses a range of activities such as variety development, seed processing, storage, testing, certification, quality control, and marketing. These activities work together to improve the genetic and physical characteristics of seeds, ultimately leading to better crop yields. The book is organized into separate chapters, making it an invaluable resource for readers looking to gain a deeper understanding of seed technology.
