"Health and vigorous seed is one of the major requirements for achieving the maximum yield and to get the best results for efforts put into cultivating the field. Production of seed in field can seldom be planted in the conditions in which it comes from the growers. In fact seed lot received from the field are often at high moisture content and contain trash and other insert material, weed seed, deteriorated and damaged seeds, off sized etc. seed processing is necessary in order to dry the seed to safe moisture level, remove or reduce to extent possible the various undesirable material, weed see, other crop seeds, deteriorated or damaged seeds, uniform size grading and treatment of the seed to upgrade the overall seed quality. The information contained in this manual is well organized systematically and updated on practical aspects with respect to seed processing and try to minimize the problem faced by the student and teachers during study the seed processing course and for seed processor feels the difficulties on seed processing plant and also hope the present manual will be useful for the students of seed science & technology, as well as, researchers, teachers and seed processors.
