In this brief guide will learn why you need to use certified seeds as a farmer.
As farmers , why do we need to use certified seeds in place of Farm saved ?
Certified seeds are handled under procedures acceptable to the Department of Agriculture and Forestry to maintain satisfactory genetic purity and identity. In this case Kenya
Plant Health Inspectorate Services ( KEPHIS) regulate this.
Why certified seeds?
1. They are high in genetic purity
2.High in germination and vigor
3. Good quality- free from diseases , damage or immature seeds.
These certified seeds are of pure cultivars and production is very high compared to farm saved seeds.
Why not Farm saved seeds ?
1. May be damaged
2. Harvested immaturely
3. Low quality
4. Impure cultivar
5. Uncontrolled genetic vigour
6. Inability to produce in line of genetic value
Avoid using farm saved seeds for you to get the best yield.
