Principles of Seed Science and Technology: Volume I - by Percival Rooser (Hardcover)

About the Book

Seed science is a specialized field that involves the study of the biology, genetics and technology of seeds. It explores various aspects such as seed germination, dormancy and storage conditions to ensure seeds remain viable and of high quality. By utilizing breeding and improvement techniques, seed scientists develop seeds that are resilient to diseases, pests and environmental challenges. This course of study is crucial for global food security as it preserves and utilizes seed diversity, supporting sustainable agricultural practices and reducing environmental impacts. Advances in seed science combine biology and technology to enhance seed quality, productivity and resilience. Thereby supporting agricultural development and assuring a stable food supply for populations worldwide. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of seed science and how such concepts have practical applications. Such selected concepts that redefine agriculture have been presented in this book. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
