Abstract:

Seed is the “chip” of agriculture，and its quality is directly related to national food security and agricultural sustainable development. To explore the current status of seed quality in Zhejiang Province，this paper systematically analyzed the inspection data of seed samples from the seed quality monitoring campaigns in Zhejiang Province during 2015-2024. The results showed that the overall seed quality in Zhejiang Province could basically meet agricultural production needs；however，the seed quality still lacked competitiveness，with prominent issues such as non-standard seed packaging，insufficient enterprise quality management capabilities，weak compliance awareness，and inadequate attention to seed vigor and seed health. In response to the above problems，this paper proposed countermeasures and suggestions including raising ideological awareness，improving quality standard systems，comprehensively implementing seed certification，strengthening supervision and random inspection of seed quality，and enhancing publicity and guidance.
