Seed production and distribution involves judicious effort of the producer and enforcement agency. With 600 million people dependent on agriculture and related activities the job of the seed producer becomes evermore important for he is the vital link between the lab and the land. Since most of the farming community is illiterate or semi literate it the job of the government to frame rules that govern the production and distribution of quality seeds. Though seed act had been implemented in European countries at the fag end of eighteenth century India did have an act to designate seed quality parameters. This void was fulfilled during 1966 when the Seeds Act was formed followed by Seeds Rules 1968. Both were adopted during 1969 for the whole of India except Sikkim and Kashmir. Over the years with newer varieties coming into the agricultural scenario the Seeds (control) order 1983 was formed insisting on compulsory licensing of the dealer. This was made ever more stringent by bringing the seeds under the Essential Commodity Act 1955. To help multinational corporations in utilizing the manpower and knowledge base of our country the Plants varieties and fruits import into India order was passed during 1989 and amended during 1998. Signing of WTO agreement during 1995 paved the way for private sector research and development of varieties. In order to regulate such varieties and to prevent the poor Indian farmer from being exploited by scrupulous multinational corporations the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Right Act 2001 was passed. Thanks to the deliberations of Dr. Vanthana Shiva of Navdanya and Dr. Suman Sahai of Gene Campaign India not only framed rules to protect the intellectual property rights of breeds but also the rights of the farmer who had bred and maintained the traditional varieties for several generations. Encouraging domestic research and infrastructure as was done during the first decade of independence the National Seeds Policy 2002 was formulated to act as a catalyst in sustainable development of agriculture. We have attempted to bring all the above statues together to provide a glimpse of the vast legalities involved in seed production and distribution. The case studies provided are quoted as an example only and the authors are not legally bound to corroborate them. This book will be an eye opener to an undergraduate student a reference to the post graduate and an essential guide to all those who are involved in practicing seed technology. No attempt has been made to distort deviate or modify the legal paras of the act and rules as they have been extracted from the references provided at the end of this book. We also caution the readers that veracity of rules are subject to interpretation and the authors deny any responsibility if the rules quoted in the court of law without getting an authenticated copy published by government gazette. 344 pp.

Experiments and surveys are conducted by scientists in agriculture and food science as a part of their career. They require appropriate statistical treatment to validate data and draw meaningful conclusions. Statistical courses are formulated in post graduate study programme to make them adept in Statistical Methods. The present work is outcome of several years of teaching and close collaboration with students and research scientists in different colleges and research scientists in different colleges and research institutes. The experience led to endeavor a presentation of the pioneer works on statistical methods without elaborate theoretical background a majority of which rests on mathematical proofs. The organization of the book on the relevant headings are sure to benefit students in the faculties of agriculture food science and related subjects. 360 pp.

The present text book has been specially written keeping in view the biology, ecology and control besides economic importance of weeds present in hill eco-systems. An understanding of the biology and identification of different weed flora helps in better control with less expenses. The various chapters of this have been scrutinized by different scientists of Tamil Nadu agricultural University and ICAR institutes. There are chapters dealing with ecology biology of weeds and their control which provide classification propagation dispersal and useful information on crop weed competition and methods of control. There are chapters on weed management in plantation crops, vegetables, cropped and non-cropped areas, obnoxious weeds and parasitic weeds. (jacket).

The book entitled Weed Management is an attempt of its first kind to highlight the importance of biology ecology and control of prevalent weed flora in temperate tropical and sub tropical situations in India. Herbicides were developed and availability of selective herbicides brought revolution for timely effective and economic control of weeds in crop fields. This book assesses the earlier attempts made in the country and else where. There are chapters dealing with ecology biology and control of weeds utility and harmfulness of weeds information on temperate tropical and sub tropical weeds parasitic and problem weeds and their control fate of herbicides in soil and plants application methodology and use of adjuvents etc. The present publication was planned to make aware of scientific progress and newly emerging concepts like integrated weed management herbicide residues and environment to scientists involved in teaching research and extension. 560 pp.
