Seed Development after Independence in Maharashtra
Introduction :
Seed is the most cost efficient means of increasing agricultural production and productivity. Improved seeds
has a special place amongst all the inputs required for agricultural production. The use of inputs like irrigation,
fertilizers, pesticides depends on rainfall situation.
This is not in case with of improved seeds. The farmers plan and commit themselves purchase to the improved seed much in advance on set of season. The seed production and distribution planning is thus different and much more important to the farmers. Till early fifties, most of the farmers used to be largely independent in respect of seed. Taluka seed multiplication farms were established in the IInd Five Year Plan with an object of producing foundation seed to be multiplied on the farms of registered seed growers and made available to the farmers for general cultivation. With the advent of hybrid technology,the seed scenario changed radically.
