A section of the proposed book is dedicated to quality control procedures, comprising of purity testing, seed testing and certification process, and seed production management. The major shortcomings of the existing systems, new opportunities and future prospects of hybrid seed production are also discussed. The book focuses on field and vegetable crops like rice, maize, pearl millet, sorghum, pigeon pea, rapeseed, mustard, cotton, castor, soybean, and sunflower among others. This book is for students, researchers, and professionals working in the field of public sectors and commercial seed industries, as well as to other stakeholders who are working to improve their skills on hybrid seed production. 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aAgricultural Biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aAgronomy 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aAgronomy. 615 14$aAgricultural Biotechnology. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aAgronomy. 676 $a630 676 $a664.024 700 $aLamichaney$b Amrit$01790069 701 $aParihar$b Ashok Kumar$01790070 701 $aBohra$b Abhishek$01790071 701 $aKarmakar$b Pradip$01790072 701 $aNaik$b S.
