Answer:
Option 3. Registered seeds
Explanation:
In India, seeds are divided into four categories:
- Nucleus seed
- Breeder seed
- Foundation seed
- Certified seed
The nucleus seed is genetically pure and does not contain other physical impurities.
The Breeder seeds are produced by mutual multiplication of three different lines and are denoted by the A line, B line, and R line.
Foundation seed is the progeny of breeder seed and is produced by State Farm Corporation of India, National Seed Corporation, and State seed Corporation under the technical control of qualified plant breeders or technical officers.
Its production is supervised and approved by a certification agency.
The major objective of the Seed Certification is to ensure the acceptable standards of seed viability, vigor, purity, and seed health.
