Properties to be possessed by improved seeds:
(a) Higher yield : To increase the productivity of the crop per acre.
(b) Improved quality : Quality of crop products vary from crop to crop.
(c) Biotic & Abiotic resistances : Crop production reduces due to biotic and abiotic factors. Varieties resistant to these factors can improve crop production.
(d) Wider adaptability : Crops which can grow in different conditions, will help in setting high production.
(e) Desired agronomic traits : Crops which contain desired agronomic traits (height, branching, leafs), sets high production.
