As a result, seed quality is very important.
He'd like to see storage facilities, improved infrastructure, better seed quality, access to markets and marketing techniques.
Insect pollination was required to reach high yield and seed quality (oil content).
Seed quality and variety determines success in terms of productivity, resilience to pests, disease and drought, and financial returns.
Although seed cost is a small portion of the total cost of crop production, seed quality strongly affects crop success or failure.
Diseases are a major constraint to production of beans in developing countries, reducing yields and seed quality.
Chardon, F., Noël, V. & Masclaux-Daubresse, C. Exploring NUE in crops and in Arabidopsis ideotypes to improve yield and seed quality.
Teramura, A.H., J.H. Sullivan, and J. Lydon, Effects of UV-B radiation on soybean yield and seed quality: A six-year field study, Physiologia Plantarum 80 5-11, 1990a.
And vi) a decline in pollination outcomes (fruit- and seed-set, and seed mass) because honeybees also tend to promote both selfing and interspecific pollen transfer, ultimately reducing seed set and seed quality (Methods, see also Supplementary Information).
The results obtained here suggest that foliar Zn and Mn application can improve the seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress.
