Seed Processing for Quality Upgradation

Abstract Pre-harvest and post-harvest operations are integral parts of the quality seed production system. If due attention is not paid during first phase, probably therewill be any means left to obtain seed. Similarly, good produced with utmost care may lose much its value if proper management followed period. The attributes genetic purity, appearance physical germination potential, vigour health. Proper should given both phases production, regarding all quality. Genetic purity primarily linked or pre-harvest phase. Whereas, achieved in harvested raw mass consists various materials other than (MOS). MOS trash, plant parts, inert matter, weeds, crop seeds non-viable seeds, e.g. cut grains, insect pest damaged, off sized physically damaged kernels, etc. Such contaminants reduce increase volume that requires additional space storage. Moreover, these often attract infestation, which can further cause loss terms quantity. storage processed clean also an essential component programmes as sowing season normally falls at least six nine months after season.
