During the past several years, new rice seeds, whose yield is in some cases more than double that of traditional varieties, have been developed and distributed to various countries in the western hemisphere. To maintain the purity of the variety, though, it is necessary to have an effective seed multiplication program. However, because many technicians lack experience or knowledge of the operation and management of such a program, inferior seed has been sold as certified seed. In an effort to avoid this situation and to educate technicians, this document, written in the Spanish language, is intended to serve as a guide for rice seed production and certification. In an overview of seed certification, the definitions for four classes of seed (hybrid, base, registered, and certified) and requirements for varieties to be authorized for certification and authorization for producers are provided. The next section gives mathematical examples of how to estimate the area required to produce various quantities of seed. Following this, methods of sowing (transplanting, with farm machinery, and from the air) and spacing requirements for each method are listed. After discussing site inspection,

Timelineyears: years in documents

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Began during the Richard Nixon administration (1969–1974). Based on its first seen, 1972. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
