What Is A Seed?
In line with limited production areas, nourishment of the world population (which is increasing rapidly) is only possible with an increase in production per unit area. Quite possibly, seeds are the most important element among agricultural applications and inputs such as irrigation, fertilization and mechanization have been developed to increase production. It has been found that seedbeds (which are the first input of agricultural activity) affect yields by 50 % and in some species well beyond 100%.
These results show that the concepts of seeds and seedbeds are different from each other and it is impossible to regard every seed as a seedbed. The seedbed to be used is up to genuine seedbed standards when it has a certificate.
The effect of certified seedbed use on production includes not only an increase in yield but also an increase in quality. Only the use of high class seedbeds result in high quality production — this is an important element in trade developing rapidly and it is increasingly getting more difficult day by day.
