Abstract
Quality seed is very essential to improve the productivity of any crops. It is therefore require maintaining the varietal purity of seed and managing the seed borne disease for high quality seed production. Therefore, the main purpose of this paddy seed production approach is to improve the knowledge of farmers about technical and handling activities for production of quality seeds of paddy. The technological and supervisory farming activities will assist to improve the understanding on quality seed production in addition to livelihood enhancement of farmers living in mid-hill area of Senapati district, Manipur. Quality seed provides additional improvement in yield when compared to normal seed. It also helps augmentation of production and of course income of farmers. The products from quality seed can be smoothly reciprocated in the market. If high quality seeds are generated in the mid-hill region of the district, the production of paddy will also be elevated in that region.
