Monitoring of Breeder Seed

The breeder seed is very important in the seed production programme. The breeder seed is produced under the direct supervision of the concerned breeder. The crop of such seed is monitored in the field by a monitoring team constituted by ICAR and consisting of Director Seed Certification, nominee of NSC and concerned breeder. During the year under report breeder seed has been monitored at different research stations. The area monitored for breeder seed during the year, 2007-2008 is given in the following Table.
