Soft cover. Zustand: New. This textbook serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals immersed in the intricacies of seed science and technology. The comprehensive exploration of seed-related topics spans various chapters, each meticulously presented on separate pages for ease of reference. Commencing with a historical overview of the seed industry in India, the book systematically addresses key facets such as seed formation, germination, and development. Each chapter is dedicated to specific elements of seed technology, offering insights into policy frameworks, testing procedures, and the planning of seed production. Crop-specific chapters, thoughtfully laid out on distinct pages, provide in-depth knowledge on production techniques for cereals, oilseeds, pulse crops, and vegetables. The complexities of hybrid seed production are elucidated in a manner that offers a holistic understanding of modern seed breeding practices. The legal and regulatory landscape surrounding seeds is meticulously explored, covering seed certification, laws and international trade regulations. Intellectual property rights and the role of the World Trade Organization in safeguarding plant varieties and farmers' rights are scrutinized in separate sections. This dynamic resource is not a mere compilation of facts but a guide that addresses contemporary challenges and opportunities in seed science. With each chapter thoughtfully presented on distinct pages, the book is structured to facilitate easy navigation and quick reference.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This Fourth Edition of Principles of Seed Science and Technology, like the fIrst three editions, is written for the advanced undergraduate student or lay person who desires an introduction to the science and technology of seeds. The fIrst nine chapters present the seed as a biological system and cover its origin, development, composition, function (and sometimes nonfunction), performance and ultimate deterioration. The last nine chapters present the fundamentals of how seeds are produced, conditioned, evaluated and distributed in our modern agricultural society. Two new chapters have been added in this fourth edition, one on seed ecology and the second on seed drying. Finally, revisions have been made throughout to reflect changes that have occurred in the seed industry since publication of the Third Edition. Because of the fundamental importance of seeds to both agriculture and to all of society, we have taken great care to present the science and technology of seeds with the respect and feeling this study deserves. We hope that this feeling will be communicated to our readers. Furthermore, we have attempted to present information in a straight-forward, easy-ta-read manner that will be easily understood by students and lay persons alike. Special care has been taken to address both current state-of-the-art as well as future trends in seed technology.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 488 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seeds are fundamental to agriculture. They are the starting point for the production of most crops and delivery system for advanced genetics. Seeds constitute 70% of our food and recent additional uses of seeds as stored energy has increased both seed and commodity prices worldwide. The past 50 years has seen many research-driven improvements in seed genetics and technology that have been responsible for dramatic increases in crop productivity worldwide. Increasing demand for seed as biofuel feedstock coupled with a need to feed a burgeoning global population makes seed science and technology an essential discipline for human survival and prosperity. Cereal production alone will have to increase by roughly a billion metric tons in the next 30 years to meet world needs. To meet future world needs for food, fiber and energy, additional research advancements in seed genetics and technology will be critical. Seed science and technology involves several disciplines such as plant production, agronomy, plant physiology, plant science, entomology and plant pathology. The seed is the most important and essential starting point for a healthy plant. If a seed is not viable a seedling will not emerge. If a seed has low vigor a weak seedling will emerge which in turn may either succumb to environmental conditions or attack by pathogens or insects. It is therefore of the outmost importance to look at the seed to make sure that it is viable and will give rise to vigorous seedlings able to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions and pests. Correct sampling of a seed lot is essential before any tests can be done on the seed lot. The purity, both physical and genetic, must be determined before testing. All seed should be tested for viability, that is, the germination percentage must be determined and recorded on the seed lot. Furthermore, the vigor of the seed can also be determined using a range of tests. Seed health testing is also of great importance to prevent new pathogens from entering and establishing in the country and to prevent diseases occurring in the field due to seed-borne inoculum. This book will discuss the different principles governing seed science and technology.
