Rohtas: Nowadays farmers are using modern and scientific methods to increase the production of their crops. One of the main techniques is. Nucleus seed production system, which is being used especially for Rabi crops. This system is playing an important role in increasing the quality and production of the crop.
Nucleus Seed: What is it and why is it important?
Nucleus seed is called “root seed”, which is the primary and important link of seed production. This seed is prepared from breeder sheet and later it is kept in the category of foundation seed. Nucleus seeds are used to ensure the quality and purity of the crop, which improves the farmer’s production. It is grown in specially controlled and inspected farms to ensure high quality seeds.
seed production process
The process of nucleus seed production is highly organized. Farmers make this process successful by following the following steps:
1. Seed selection: First of all, healthy and good plants are selected. Seeds are prepared from these plants, due to which the quality of the crop remains high.
2. Controlled farming sector: Nucleus seeds are grown in the fields under the supervision of farmers. Adequate distance (about 3 meters) is maintained between the plants, so that the purity of the seeds and growth of the crop is maintained.
3. Conversion into Foundation Seed: After preparing the seed from nucleus seed, it is converted into Foundation Seed (FS Seed). After this this seed develops into TL Seed. These three types of seeds are excellent options for farmers to grow high quality crops.
need for seed replacement
Farmers are advised to change seeds after every 8-10 generations. Continuous use of old seed increases the risk of seed-borne diseases, which can lead to decline in production. Therefore, it is necessary to change the seeds from time to time, so that the crop remains healthy and of high quality.
Nucleus seed production system is proving to be an effective and modern technology for farmers. This system not only improves the quality of the crop but also increases the income of the farmers. With the use of right seeds and scientific techniques, farmers can become self-reliant and reach new heights in agricultural production.
