Foundation seed (FS) is the progeny of breeder seed (BrS) produced under technical control of qualified plant breeders or technical officers. Its production is supervised and approved by certification agency. Foundation seed (FS) is seed so designated by an agriculture experiment station. Its production is carefully supervised or approved by representatives of an agricultural experiment station. It is the source of all other certified seed classes, either directly or through registered seeds. FS is pure seed stocks grown by or under the supervision of a public agency for use in the production of registered and certified seeds. 1 Like |

The question that may arise is the deceitful use of the name "hybrid" to sell most of these seeds to us by the agro-shops. Simply put, a hybrid seed (or plant) is a cross between two or more unrelated inbred plants. The two different varieties are cross bred, resulting in a seed that carries one or more favorable traits. Nucleus seeds, breeder seeds, foundation seeds & certified seeds are not hybrid seeds. Infact, they are termed non-hybrid seeds due to their open pollination breeding. Non-hybrid seeds come from plants that are naturally pollinated. Non-hybrid seeds will produce plants whose seeds will produce more plants that look the same as the parent plant. 1 Like |

Most times though, what we get to buy are just ordinary seeds brandished as certified or hybrid seeds which does not give the farmer the expected (field) yield. But as more enlightened people come into agriculture entrepreneurship, the secrets of theses unscrupulous seed sellers are being exposed gradually. Hence, we shld endeavour to ask for the certification number of seeds we want to buy to plant in commercial level so at not to continually fall prey to the sellers antics. Having said this, the best seed to buy and plant (if one can get it) is the foundation seed, which is directly from the multiplication field. FS cld be a bit more expensive, but it's worth the investment. 2 Likes |
