13. CONSTRAINTS
1. Indented Breeder Seed is not always available during lifting.
2. Due to draught like situation in some parts of W.B., Kharif seed production may be hampered to some extent.

14. SUGGESTIONS
Provision may be made for delivering less quantity of indented Breeder Seed by the producing institutions through parcel.
SMR of Potato is 1:4. As productivity of seed potato is high in W.B. , the SMR may be increased to ensure better participation of the growers.
SMR of Paddy may be increased in case of SRI
As desired by GOI, Breeder seeds should have seeds standard more or equal to the standard of Foundation seeds – so, Breeder seeds may be tested from notified STL before distribution.
5. Validy of Seed Certification should be 9 months from date of HARVEST not from date of TEST as of now.

15. Sub-Mission for Seed & Planting Materials.
Proposals to be submitted to Govt. of India:-
Strengthening for Seed Quality Control.
Strengthening of GOT facilities.
Seed treatment.
Support for R&D, contract Research and acquisition of
New Varietal Products.
