Breeder seed is seed directly controlled by the originating or sponsoring plant breeding institution, or by plant breeder. Breeders seed is the source for the production of certified seed. Breeder seed is genetically pure which is subsicuent seed class of foundation seed. From foundation seed certified seed is proudeced for the growers.Breeder seed department of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI) produces breeder seed and nucleus seed by special management for ensuring the genetic purity and improve the quality of different varieties of jute seed to meet up the demand of Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC) and private jute seed production companies. Every year BJRI produces breeder seed of jute and allied fibre crops at five regional and two sub stations at different geological locations of Bangladesh. Proper isolation distances, intercultural operations, fertilizer management, close monitoring are maintained and different jute seed production techniques are followed stricktly. Breeder seed department of BJRI has produced a total 16.75 tons breeder seed among them 4.91 tons of deshi jute varieties, 8.15 tons of tossa varieties and 3.67 tons of kenaf varieties at previous 11 years. Breeder seed department of BJRI, has suppled these seeds in different GO (BADC) and NGO (private seed company & farms). Last 11 years breeder seed department has supplied 2.24 tons of deshi varieties, 4.30 tons of tossa varieties, 0.25 ton of kenaf varieties to BADC and 2.78 tons of deshi, tossa and kenaf varieties at different private seed producing farms or companies for the production of foundation and certified seed.
