    Maize seed production is an important yet overlooked aspect of food and feed production. Maize is the world's most important agricultural crop, with seeds providing farmers varieties with improved traits like high yields and disease resistance. However, farmers often rely on large seed companies and may not always have access to their preferred seeds. This has led to an alternative of maize seed production. Good quality maize seeds are important as they respond well to inputs, ensure genetic and physical purity of crops, and ensure higher yields, which can increase farmer production and income and raise overall maize production in an area.

    Maize Seed Production


    Introduction

    Seed production is one of the least visible yet most


    important aspects of food and feed production. This
    part of the system is often taken for granted, even
    by the farmers who plant the seed.
    As we know, maize is the most important
    agricultural crops in the world. The seeds provides
    farmers with varieties containing improved
    genetics, such as high yield potential and unique
    trait combinations to counter diseases and adverse
    growing conditions.

    However, when it comes to maize seed supply,


    farmers are often at the mercy of large seed
    companies and may not always be able to get the
    kind of seed they want. This problem has led to an
    alternative solution, which is Maize seed
    production.
