Seed represent both the products of gain-crop production and beginning of the next life cycle of the crop. A seed contains, in a fairly small package, a tiny plant with embryonic root, steam, and leaves; a food supply that provides energy, fats and proteins needed to support the growth of the seeding during germination; and a seed coat help protect the contents from insects, diseases, and mechanical injury. Seed technology is an interdisciplinary science and includes a board range of subjects like seed production, handling, processing storage, testing, certification, quality control/marketing and distribution.it also includes in research in seed development and maturation, seed physiology, seed dormancy and germination, seed viability and longevity, seed pathology and entomology, seed enhancement based on modern botanical and agricultural sciences and somatic embryo genesis and synseed production. Seed technology provides carrier of new technology with basic tool for secured food supply.

the book has been prepared in view to provides overall information about seed, seed processing technology and marketing.it will be useful for the seed industries, seed marketing personals, farmers, researchers, teachers and student involved in seed production and marketing.
