Role
of Seed in Seed Production Programme
1. A carrier of new technologies:
Introduction of quality seed of new varieties wisely combined with other inputs significantly increases the yield level. In India cultivation of high yielding introduced dwarf wheat varieties helped to increases the production from 52 million tonnes (1947) to nearly 200 million tonnes in 2000-2001 making country self sufficient with in span of 10 years.
The successful implementation of the high yield variety programme in India has led to a remarkable increase the production. As a result, food imports from other countries have been substantially brought down in spite of the rapid population increase.
Good quality seed of suitable varieties helped in securing higher crop yields. In disaster region E.g M-35-1 drought resistant variety in Jowar served as a boon in drought prone area in rainy season.
In the wide spread droughts and floods, it is much economical if government had National Seed Reserve Stock (NSRS) at their disposal. NSRS plays two fold roles. i) It provide improved seed in emergency period in production areas, and ii) To supply seed for resowing in disaster region (normally which is not available with farmer in time).

2. A basic tool for
secured food supply:
The successful implementation of the high yield variety programme in India has led to a remarkable increase the production. As a result, food imports from other countries have been substantially brought down in spite of the rapid population increase.
3. The principle
means to secure crop yield in less favorable area of production:
Good quality seed of suitable varieties helped in securing higher crop yields. In disaster region E.g M-35-1 drought resistant variety in Jowar served as a boon in drought prone area in rainy season.
4. Improved Seed is a
Medium for Rapid Rehabilitation of Agriculture in case of Natural Disaster:
In the wide spread droughts and floods, it is much economical if government had National Seed Reserve Stock (NSRS) at their disposal. NSRS plays two fold roles. i) It provide improved seed in emergency period in production areas, and ii) To supply seed for resowing in disaster region (normally which is not available with farmer in time).
