Not AvailableIn Indian agriculture, with increasing population and there is growing demand in food
safety and security. Additional agricultural land and resources are of limited
availability. The reduction of current yield losses is due to lack of quality seed which
is basic input for agriculture. The seed quality plays major role. Seed quality
deterioration at different phases due to biotic and abiotic stresses is a major
challenge. In this context, a newer concept of seed coating plays a major role. Seed
coating achieves better plant establishment and higher yields by innovation in
delivery systems of active ingredients, correct use of pesticides and finally reshaping
seed microenvironment.Not Availabl

Not AvailableCastor (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the ancient non-edible, multi-purpose, drought tolerant oilseed crop. It has a long history of more than 6000 years. Castor seeds were an important item of commerce in ancient Egypt. The castor seed is the source of numerous economically important products and is one of the world’s most important vegetable oils for industrial usage. Dioscorides named castor as Kroten or Kiki in Greek, and the genus Ricinus is derived from the latin term meaning ‘dog tick’ because of the resemblance of its seed as that of the common pest of dogs which Linnaeus retained. The plant’s common name was apparently coined by English traders who confused the oil with that from Vitex agnus-castus, known to the Spanish and Portuges in Jamaica as agno-casto.Not Availabl

Not AvailableEdible vegetable oils are food stuffs which are composed primarily of glycerides of fatty acids
being obtained only from vegetable sources. They may contain small amounts of other lipids
such as phosphatides, of unsaponifiable constituents and of free fatty acids naturally present in
the fat or oil (CODEX STAN 210-1999).Not Availabl
