Abstract
Our research focuses on the development of sunflower seed testing, both farmer seed and certified seed undergo crucial assessments to ensure quality and performance. Farmer seed, sourced from previous harvests or informal channels, may lack standardized testing protocols, posing risks of variable quality and lower yields. Conversely, certified seeds, produced by authorized agencies, undergo rigorous testing including germination, purity, bromide chemical, and magnetic force tests. These tests ascertain genetic purity, germination rates, and freedomfrom contaminants or diseases, ensuring consistent performance and higher yields. While farmer seed may offer initial cost savings, the reliability and quality assurance associated with certified seeds make them preferable for sunflower cultivation. Certified seeds, backed by comprehensive testing and adherence to strict standards, mitigate risks, maximize crop potential, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. Therefore, farmers are encouraged to prioritize certified seeds for improved productivity and long- term success in sunflower farming.
