The quality and genetic purity of seed crops are monitored at different stages of production through continuous involvement of the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department. Field inspections and certification procedures help ensure that the seed produced by registered growers meets the required quality and purity standards.

After successful certification, the certified seed produced by the registered growers is procured by Punjab Seed Corporation at the rate agreed upon in the grower agreement.

Advisory Services to Seed Growers

Punjab Seed Corporation (PSC) is committed to producing and supplying high-quality seed of various crops to support sustainable agriculture and improve crop productivity in Punjab. For the multiplication and production of quality seed, PSC engages registered growers across the province for the production of basic and certified seed.

PSC provides farm advisory services to its registered seed growers throughout the crop season. The field staff regularly visits the farms of registered growers to monitor crop progress, provide technical guidance, and advise growers on best agricultural practices for the production of pure and high-quality seed.

Seed Certification and Quality Monitoring

Under the Farm Advisory Services, PSC field staff maintains regular contact with registered growers and provides guidance at different stages of crop production. Farm visits are conducted to:

  • Monitor the overall condition and development of seed crops.
  • Guide growers regarding recommended production practices.
  • Identify and address issues affecting crop quality and purity.
  • Advise growers on maintaining the required standards for seed production.
  • Conduct awareness and advisory sessions to improve the yield and quality of pure seed.
  • Ensure that the crop is produced according to the prescribed seed certification standards.

The advisory support provided to growers helps improve the production of quality seed for subsequent procurement, processing and distribution through Punjab Seed Corporation.
