The use of high quality seeds is one of the most important elements in increasing agricultural production in any farming system. This element has become more crucial than ever for providing enough food security for the rising number of people in the world. In general, the quality of seeds is measured in many ways, including genetic and physical purity, germination, vigor, uniformity in sizes, freedom from seed-borne diseases, and any other factors that may affect seed performance in the field.
The factors that affect seed quality are heat, mechanical damage, and pre-harvest sprouting in seeds. Therefore, seed quality is a collective term for the conditions of seeds including genetic and physical purity, viability, vigor and seed health. Other characteristics such as specific chemical composition or resistance to certain diseases or insects also contribute to the quality of seeds.
Many factors influence seed quality. Complex interactions of genetic, environmental, physiological, biochemical, cytological, and pathological factors influence the expression of seed quality. Factors under genetic control may include, but not limited to, seed size, and color, chemical composition, hard-seededness, hybrid vigor, susceptibility to mechanical damage, and disease resistance.
