Plant breeders continue to make significant advances in developing
high yield ing, adaptable, disease-free crops. These advances,
however, are not realized until an efficient seed production system
is in place that rapidly increases geneti cally superior crops and
makes them available to the consumer in large quantities at a
reasonable cost. Successful seed production requires seed to be
genetically pure, free of admixtures, and able to establish rapidly
a uniform stand. Seed production is a complex process. Rigorous
production criteria are followed by both seed producer and seed
companies to ensure that high-quality seed is produced and
marketed. These criteria become even more stringent in hybrid seed
production. This volume identifies the factors most critical in a
successful seed production operation. The fundamental
considerations common to all seed crops are established in Part I,
Principles of Seed Production. From this founda tion, the practices
of seed production are provided in detail in Part II, Seed
Production of Specific Crops."
