Today, seeds are celebrated as a basic tool for secured food supply, a carrier of new technologies, so on and so forth. Never the less, the seed industry has grown into a dictator of modern agriculture. Seed science and technology involves several disciplines such as plant production, agronomy, plant physiology, plant science, entomology and plant pathology.The seed is the most important and essential starting point for a healthy plant. If a seed is not viable a seedling will not emerge. If a seed has low vigour a weak seedling will emerge which in turn may either succumb to environmental conditions or attack by pathogens or insects.
