Question

In the context of the food and nutritional security of India, enhancing the ‘Seed Replacement Rates’ of various crops helps in achieving the food production targets of the future. But what is/are the constraints/ constraints in its wider/greater implementation?

There is no National Seeds Policy in place

There is no participation of private sector seed companies in the supply of quality seeds of vegetables and planting materials of horticultural crops

There is a demand-supply gap regarding quality seeds in case of low value and high volume crops

Options:

Options:

A . 3 only

B . 2 and 3

C . 1 and 2

D . none

Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
A low seed replacement rate (SRR) is one of the main reasons for low productivity in India but the realisation has finally dawned on farmers in the agrarian state.
SRR is a measure of how much of the total area of the crop has been sown with certified, quality seeds rather than farm-saved seeds.
However, the present supply of the best quality of developed seed is not adequately available so there is a demand-supply gap regarding quality seeds. Agricultural development is a major characteristic of India.
