The production of high-quality seeds is crucial for the growth of crops and India farmers recognize the value of this. The liberalization of trade has led to the thriving of the vegetable seed industry in India, resulting in an increase in the number of seed companies. While the public sector concentrates on low-cost technologies, such as open pollinated varieties, private firms focus on the production of F1 hybrids, which offer market protection. The production of virus-free seed tubers, such as potatoes, is challenging and requires knowledge and skill, as most spices are propagated vegetatively.
It is important for all stakeholders in the seed industry and agricultural sector to have up-to-date information on the theory and practice of seed production for vegetable crops, tubers, and spices.
