SEEDS Subject: Issues identified for DAC-ICAR interface ACTION IN PROGRESS Issues identifiedAction initiated but not completed 1. Seed standards of jatropha Need to be developed (Kharif, 2008) Seed standards of jatropha are in progress at JNKVV – Jabalpur. ICAR has not provided the standards to DAC. 2. Seed Testing Manual of Horticulture crops such as spices, plantation crops, tuber crops, fruit crops, ornamental and flower crops are to be prepared by ICAR. IIHR after going through the manual found that seed testing procedures in general for seed crops and specific requirements for some important seed spices are already mentioned in the manual. The general seed testing procedures are same for all seed propagated crops. The specific information as to sample size, germination requirements, physical purity analysis, genetic purity analysis, moisture estimation for each seed propagated flower and medicinal crops need to be given, But the information on these crops is limited and scattered. It needs sufficient time, at least one year, to collect and compile all available information on important seed propagated flower and medicinal crops. Action is awaited from ICAR. 3. During the 12th Technical Committee meeting on CSCB, it has been decided to formulate the Seed Certification Standards for hybrid papaya. The seeds certification standard for hybrid papaya has been formulated by IIHR Bangalore. There is no field standard, eligibility requirement, land requirement and isolation distance maintained for the seed crop has not been prescribed by ICAR. 4. Development of hybrid (genetic purity) standards for hybrid Rapeseed/Mustard Action awaited from ICAR
