Preparation for threshing

• During threshing, the seed parent and pollen parent harvests must be kept separate from each other. The seed parent should not get mixed with other seed or grain on the threshing floor or with any leftover in the thresher.

• All threshing equipment and the threshing floor should be thoroughly cleaned before starting threshing.

• New jute sacks should be available for bagging the seed.

• If new sacks are not available, then use clean used sacks. The used sacks must not contain any rice grains that could become mixed with the hybrid seed.

• Make two labels for each bag: one to place inside the bag and one to attach to the outside.

• Each label should contain the following information:

• • your name and address.

  • the name of the hybrid.

  • the location of the seed production field.

  • season.
