FEDERAL SEED CERTIFICATION & REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

The seed industry was launched in 1973, with the assistance of Food & Agriculture

Organization (FAO) and International Bank for Reconstruction & Development (IBRD) andlater on legal coverage was provided with the promulgation of Seed Act, 1976. The Seed

Act, 1976 is the source of rules and regulations concerned with variety registration, release,

seed certification, quality control, marketing import and export of seed etc. This legislation

has provided primarily, the very foundation of seed industry and requisite infrastructure like

National Seed Council, Provincial Seed Councils, National Seed Registration Department

and Federal Seed Certification Department. Both the National Seed Registration and

Federal Seed Certification Departments were basically designed for prominent

accommodation of public seed sector. Realizing the prevailing global scenario and free

market economy, Government of Pakistan has adopted a liberal policy and declared seed

business as an Industry during 1994. Consequently private sector was inducted and has

started functioning to substantiate the efforts of public seed sector.

2. Institutional Provisions and Salient Features of Seed Act, 1976

Seed Act provides mechanism for controlling and regulating the quality of seeds of various

crop varieties. Its salient features include:

i) National Seed Council with well defined functions including seed policy,

regulations, import, seed movement, seed standards and investment issues.

ii) Federal Seed Certification & Registration Agency along with seed

registration, certification and regulatory function for quality control.

Provincial seed councils functioning under the delegated powers of the Federal Government

i.e. advice on seed standards, recommend changes in seed laws development of seed

production farms etc.

3. National Seed Council (NSC)

National Seed Council is the supreme body concerns with all pursuits of seed both in public

and private sectors. The Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Livestock is Chairman

of the Council. It is represented by provincial secretaries, MDs of public sector seed and

representatives of private seed sector.

requirement for the production of certified seed, which department undertakes under the

Seed Act, 1976. The department also controls and regulates the quality of seed both in the

market, at the port of entry and also at the time of export. To extend certification cover tothe all varieties of field and vegetable crops, the department performs the following

functions:

a) Registration of new crop varieties.

b) Certification of seed crops and testing of seed lots.

c) Enforcement of Seed Act, 1976 and Seed (Truth-in-Labeling) Rules, 1991.

d) Arranging training courses on seed certification for quality seed production.

7. CROP VARIETY EVALUATION AND REGISTRATION

The department evaluated and registered 409 varieties of various field and vegetable crops

based on criteria of Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) or Agronomic Value and

Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) trials at least for two years. Table shows the

8. SEED LAWS ENFORCEMENT 2008-09

The department controls the quality of seed being offered for sale in the local market and

seed consignment meant for import and export. A total of 27 Seed Inspectors have been

appointed to enforce seed laws in major market areas of the country. Legal action againstun-scrupulous seed dealers are given in Table- .

Under the Seed (Truth-in-Labeling) Rules, 1991, 29,551 M.T. of various crop seeds

imported at Karachi and Lahore from overseas, were tested for physical purity and

germination during the year 2008-09. It is the responsibility of seed dealer/trader to comply

with the prescribed seed standards under Seed (Truth-in-Labeling) Rules, 1991. The

department only monitors quality of seed in the market. The rules envisaged labeling of all

packets/containers the quality of seed, specifying the following information:

- Lot No. - Crop/species

- Variety - Pure seed percentage- Germination percentage - Other crop seed percentage

- Weed seed percentage - Inert matter

- Month/year of production - Date of expiry

The department faces a lot of constraints due to lack of manpower for seed enforcement,

lack of capacity for mobility and transport of poor quality and unlabeled seed at the place of

Seed Act violation to safe storage. Department also faces difficulties due to follow up of

Court cases as notified Inspector has to attend court cases in far flung areas.

9. Auction of confiscated seed stock

Auction of confiscated seed stock was previously handled by the Disposal Wing of Ministry

of Industry, which used to cause delays for years and quality of seed so confiscated suffered

due to deterioration of its quality, hence lost value and weight in poor storage conditions.

The said Wing has stopped functioning since 01-07-2002. Now department has been

entrusted the responsibility and a team has been constituted and has started auctioning

process to vacate our office premises being filled with stock at Multan, Khanewal,

R.Y.Khan and Sahiwal etc.

Auction details are as follows:

10. CERTIFICATION OF SEED CROPS

Seed Certification System covers activities like

1. Registration of crop varieties, establishment of Variety Data Bank.

2. Crops field inspection of notified varieties for verification of Field Standards.

3. Seed Sampling and Seed Testing to verify Seed Standards.

4. Issuing of Tags/ Labels to certified seed lots.

5. Enforcement of Seed Regulations for quality control in the market.

6. Training in Seed Science & Technology for public and private sector.

Seed certification is compulsory for notified varieties. The genetic purity of the notified

varieties of the seed crop is ascertained through crop inspection and the physical purityof the seed lot is checked through seed analysis in the laboratories. In Pakistan, all most,

the same seed generation system is practiced as by International Seed Testing Association

(ISTA) and Organization for European Community Development (OECD) member

countries. The availability and distribution of certified seed of various crops is given in

maintenance of quality and purity of seed at various stages of multiplication, and to the

plant breeders to help strengthened their breeding programs.

Essential infrastructure regarding installation of computers, internet and local area

connection has been set up. The department has launched a website:

www.pakistanseeds.gov.pk. for an easy access to the concerned organizations.

The documentation of genetic, morphological and agronomic data of the crop varieties has

been started and their inventories are being prepared. The parentage and pedigree,

insect/pest and disease reaction of these varieties are also being documented.

1. A book entitled Cotton Varieties of Pakistan containing information on

morphological yield and quality characteristics, breeding institute, year of release

name of breeders, parentage and pedigree, insect/pest and disease reaction of 93

cotton varieties, has been published.

2. A book entitled National Directory of Seed Companies containing information

on 556 national and 118 international seed companies, 8 national, 45 regional and

13 international seed association, 16 international research centers and 426

released crop varieties, has been published.

3. A book entitled Pulses Varieties of Pakistan containing information on

morphological yield and quality characteristics, breeding institutes, year of

release name of breeders, parentage and pedigree, insect/pest and disease reaction

of 53 chickpea, lentil and mungbean varieties, is ready for publication.

4. Out of 450 approved/released crop varieties, information of 350 crop varieties

have been documented.

5. Varietal descriptors of 55 agricultural and horticultural crops with illustrations

have been prepared/updated for characterization of crop varieties.

Project established National Variety Data Bank in which all the relevant data about

commercially released crop varieties of the country, their parentage/pedigree, physio-

morphic and agronomic traits, distinctness of new varieties than the commercially cultivated

varieties, reaction to diseases, insect/pests and yield potential, name of breeders and

originating institute of crop variety and year of release etc. were documented. Project was

completed within three years during 2003-06, with the total cost of Rs. 6.749 million.

Under the project Establishment of Seed Testing Laboratories and Rehabilitation of

Existing Laboratories for Strengthening of FSC&RD 17 new seed testing laboratories have

been established. Project was completed with in four years during 2005-09 with the total

cost of Rs. 81.284 million.

13. FIELD CROP INSPECTION

Seed certification plays a pivotal role in the production of good quality seed. The technical

staff visited field crops of the registered / contract growers to assess the genetic purity. Seedgrowers were advised to rouging of offtypes and other unwanted material to make the

standing crops genetically and physically pure.

During the year 2008--09 a total of 606776.33 acres grown from the known categories of

seed were inspected at the registered growers farms. Out of the total inspected acreage,

509512.90 acres were certified with and estimated yield 712744.49 M.T. Rest of the acreage

i.e. 97263.43 acres was not found up to the mark due to more number of offtypes, other

crops, diseases and weed plants etc.
