  1. SEED ROLLING PLAN (Major Crops)OF HARYANA

  2. Monitoring of Seed Production Program • State Seed Production Committee (SSPC) notified under the Chairmanship of Principal Secretary Agriculture. • Director DWR Karnal, Director CSSRI Karnal, Director of Research, CCSHAU Hisar, DG Agriculture/Horticulture, Director, HSSCA and Seed Producing agencies like HSDC, HLRDC, NSC & HAFED etc. are the members of the committee. • SSPC meets well before sowing of Kharif & Rabi crops to finalise the seed production program after thorough discussion with all stake holders. Sale of seeds and Seed Replacement Rate of various crops is also reviewed by the committee. • Seed production targets of some specific crops are some times allotted by the Committee to any seed producing agencies to improve Seed Replacement Rate of that crop in the State.

  3. SEED REPLACEMENT RATE (SRR%) OF VARIOUS CROPS DURING 2013-14

  4. SEED PLAN FOR KHARIF CROPS Focus on increased seed production of Basmati & hybrid Paddy Varieties. Short duration newly released varieties of Paddy included in seed production program.

  5. Requirement and availability of certified seed during Rabi 2014-15 (Qty. in qtls.)

  6. SEED PLAN FOR RABI CROPS Seed Production of wheat varieties HD-2967, WH-1105, PBW-550 & DPW-621-50 increased. Newly released variety HD-3059, WH-1124, DBW-88 and HD-3043 included in the Seed Production Program. Emphasis will be laid only on those wheat varieties which are not older than 10 years. Seed Production Program of Gram increased considerably.

  7. Suggestions • The State Governments need to work in close collaboration with the Agriculture Universities for the development of Agro-climatic zones specific varieties/hybrids and get these varieties incorporated time to time in their Seed Rolling Plan as per the demands of the farmers. • It is the responsibility of the State Governments to popularize and introduce new varieties developed by ICAR/ SAUs system. Those varieties/hybrids which are old , not performing well & getting susceptible to diseases /pests should be got denotified and removed from the Seed Rolling Plan from time to time. • Alongwith production and distribution of quality seeds, concerted action is required to be addressed the Regional Specific Constraints in Agriculture production. As in Haryana State, the Regional Specific Constraints are ground water depletion, decreasing soil carbon contents, micro-nutrient deficiency, salinity etc.. Those varieties which are performing well in these constraints should be introduced in the Plan.

  8. Contd…. • The private seed industry has an important role to play in the production and supply of quality seed. Therefore, there is a need for synergy between the public and the private sector. The Seed Rolling Plan must have those hybrids which are developed by private sector and are performing well among the farmers of the state. • The private sector is required to be involved in the overall National objective of providing quality seeds including those of high volume low value crops to the farmers at affordable prices. • Trilateral Agreements between Seed Industry, State Agriculture Universities and State Seed Corporation for development, production and distribution of seeds of new varieties. • Central Government funding will be performance-friendly. Better performing states needs to be supported. • The main focus of preparing a Seed Rolling Plan is to build a viable seed production system that would bring qualitative change to the country’s seed sector.
