Objective Seed Science and Technology is prepared
based on the ICAR UG syllabus of Seed Science and Technology. This book is the
compilation of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in Seed Science and Technology
which will be highly useful in writing competitive examinations like ASRB, NET,
JRF, SRF, Ph.D entrance, Bank, UPSC, Agricultural, Horticultural and Seed
Certification Officers.
The 2nd revised Edition comprises two sections
namely 1. Seed Science and Technology: Principles and Practices, and 2.
Advances in Seed Physiology and Biochemistry. The section 1 consists of eight
units such as floral and seed biology, seed production including breeding
methods, seed processing, seed quality control, seed storage, seed health, seed
industry and marketing and protection of plant varieties including DUS.
The section 2 consists of three units namely seed
development and maturation, seed dormancy and germination, and seed
deterioration.
Each chapter includes Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQs), fill in the blanks, true or false, match the following, answer the
incorrect statement, arrange in order and differentiate between the following.
Abbreviations, National and International journals and books, International
STLs, Seed Scientists and their inventions and glossaries are also compiled and
presented in this book.
