About Department

The Department of Seed Science and Technology plays a vital role in agricultural and allied sciences by ensuring the availability of high-quality seeds, which are the foundation of successful crop production. It focuses on seed production, processing, testing, storage, certification, and quality control to maintain genetic purity and high germination potential. Advances from this field help improve crop yield, adaptability, and resistance to pests, diseases, and climate stress. Seed science also supports food security, sustainable agriculture, and the effective dissemination of improved crop varieties to farmers. By integrating genetics, biotechnology, agronomy, and plant breeding, the department bridges research and practical farming, contributing significantly to agricultural development and rural livelihoods.
