“Extension Methodologies For Transfer of Agricultural Technology” addresses applied methodologies and delivery mechanisms for transferring agricultural innovations, seed technologies, and high-yielding cultivars to farming communities. The study material provides detailed coverage of quality seed production systems, seed demand forecasting, maintenance of genetic purity, seed certification standards, classwise seed multiplication (Breeder, Foundation, Certified seed), hybrid seed production techniques in major staple crops (Rice, Maize, Sorghum), and seed transfer pricing policies.
