बीज उधोग में बीज प्रसंस्करण Seed lot obtained from the field, moisture content high and contains various impurities such as plant parts, sand, gravel particles, besides off-size seeds, weed seeds, damaged and deteriorated seeds. As a result, the quality and quantity of the seeds are reduced so a processing plant or unit required for healthy and improved seeds. Seed processing refers to all the steps essential for preparation of harvested seed for marketing, i.e. drying, cleaning, grading, treating, bagging or packaging and storage of the seed, obtained after harvesting and threshing. So, seed processing is an important segment of the seed industry.

Safe storage of seeds भारत  एक कृषि प्रधान देश हैं जिसकी अधिकांश जनसंख्यां गांवों में रहती है और कृषि पर निर्भर है। एक किसान औसत 70 प्रतिशत अनाज भोजन, बीज, एवं बिक्री के लिये भण्डारित करते है और भण्डारण के दौरान, अनाज की गुणवत्ता और मात्रा दोनों में कमी आती है । इस गुणवत्ता को फसल कटाई के बाद बीजों को कम नमी और कम तापमान पर रखने से काफी समय तक रोका जा सकता है । लेकिन बीजों के भण्डारण के स्थान पर जहाँ अधिक नमी हो तो, बीज में कई प्रकार के कीट व कवकों का बीज पर आक्रमण हो जाता है I इससे बीजों की गुणवता को बहुत ज्यादा नुकसान होता हैंI वैज्ञानिक रूप से प्रसंस्कृत बीज यदि लाते ले जातें समय सहीं देखभाल एवं भण्डारण नहीं किया जाये तो इसका प्रभाव बीजों के अंकुरण क्षमता पर भी पड़ता है I इसके कारण लगभग 10 प्रतिशत अनाज बर्बाद हो जाता हैं। जिसे अनाज भडारण की उचित विधियाँ अपना कर बर्बाद होने से बचाया जा सकता हैं। भण्डार गृह के लिए महत्वपूर्ण बातें : बीज को भण्डारित करने से पहले निम्नलिखित बातों का ध्यान रखना चाहिए I 1. भण्डारण के लिए स्थान का चुनाव : किसी भी जगह बीज को भण्डारण करना है तो वह स्थान आस-पास के स्थान से ऊँचा होना चाहिए...

भंडारण बीज के प्रबंधन में स्वदेशी प्रौद्योगिकियां Seeds should have a good storage facility, since seeds are the main input for next crop. Seeds should be stored in such a manner, that its germination capacity and vigour should not decline. The quality of seeds have critical influence on the ability of crops to become established and to realize their full potential of yield and value. Nearly 30% of the seeds are lost during storage period due to insects, rodents and microorganisms. Management of these insect pests by chemical method is not economically feasible but also unsafe for consumption. There is evidence of ash, sand,herbs used in ancient civilization, which have been credited with mystical power for increasing storage life of seed called as indigenous management practices.These methods avoid the use of chemicals and are inexpensive. Day by day the indigenous technique are lapsing hence, there is a need to generate awareness and dissemination of the eco friendly and low cost indigenous management practices among the farmers. Hence, this article briefly emphasize on important eco-friendly management practices. Insect’s management: Common salt In this method of seed storage 150 -200gm of available table salt in houses is mixed for a kg of cowpea seeds manually and stored in jute gunny bags it should stich properly. Due to this practice...
