Quality Policy / ProcessesTo ensure an adequate and uniform plant population is a prerequisite for achieving maximum crop yield. Seed quality, seedbed conditions, proper planting rate and seedling emergence combine to determine the final plant population and crop health and lead to realization of the full yield potential. Seed quality encompasses several important attributes of each seed lot that represent the collective performance potential
Although all the seed quality components are important, the most accepted index of seed quality is germination and purity. The test procedures for this, are standardized by Government of India and is referred as the standard tests to assess the physical parameters and germination. Field Emergence Test (FET) & Grow Out Test (GOT) are two other test procedures to test the plant vigour and genetic purity as well.
Considering the vital importance of seed quality, MSSCL has evolved its well chalked out Quality Control & Quality Assurance Policy. It has set up a separate Quality Control Department in 1982 to undertake quality checks at various stages of seed production, processing, storage and marketing of seeds. MSSCL gives top most priority to all aspects of quality management i.e. trueness to variety or hybrid characteristics, vigour, physical purity, genetic purity and seed health.
MSSCL has established two well equipped Quality Control Laboratories located at Akola & Parbhani, and one more laboratory is planned to be set up at Jalna considering the requirement of testing facility. Screening of poor seed quality is the mandate of the QCLs. Absolute and sacrosanct norms are adhered to for above quality tests. In fact, all marketing related placements are started only after the 100% test results declare the seed lots as Passed.
Apart from this, as per the policy of the Corporation raw seed for processing is accepted on the basis of Quality Control Laboratory (QCL) tests. In some cases, QCL test has been made pre-requisite for gi
