The Organic Seed Grower is a comprehensive manual for the serious vegetable grower who is interested in growing high-quality seeds using organic farming practices. It is written for both serious home seed savers and diversified small-scale farmers who want to learn the necessary steps involved in successfully producing a commercial seed crop organically. Detailed profiles for each of the major vegetables provide users with practical, in-depth knowledge about growing, harvesting, and processing seed for a wide range of common and specialty vegetable crops, from Asian greens to zucchini. In addition, readers will find extensive and critical information on topics including: The reproductive biology of crop plants Annual vs. biennial seed crops Isolation distances needed to ensure varietal purity Maintaining adequate population size for genetic integrity Seed crop climates Seed-borne diseases Seed-cleaning basics Seed storage for farmers and more . . . This book can serve as a bridge to lead skilled gardeners, who are already saving their own seed, into the idea of growing seed commercially. And for diversified vegetable farmers who are growing a seed crop for sale for the first time, it will provide details on many of the tricks of the trade that are used by professional seed growers. This manual will help the budding seed farmer to become more knowledgeable, efficient, and effective in producing a commercially viable seed crop. With the strong demand for certified organic produce, many regional seed companies are increasingly seeking out dedicated seed growers to ensure a reliable source of organically grown seeds for their farmer and gardener customers. This trend represents a great business opportunity for small-scale commercial growers who wish to raise and sell vegetable seeds as a profitable part of their diversified small-farm operation. Written by well-known plant breeder and organic seed expert John Navazio, The Organic Seed Grower is the most up-to-date and useful guide to best practices in this exciting and important field.

Excerpt from The Seed Grower: A Practical Treatise on Growing Vegetable and Flower Seeds and Bulbs for the Market Seed-growing properly pertains to an agricultural country, such as is the United States. It is a business in which the profits are large and one which to supply our needs in full affords great opportunity for much enlargement in this country. It is also an industry that could be built up here for export trade, which at present amounts to comparatively nothing. In all candor it must be said, we do not stand in the front rank before the world as seed-growers. For, while the past quarter of a century has seen much progress here in seed-growing, the industry with us is still in a stage of infancy and much remains to be done. As evidenced by the following pages, we still depend to a large extent on European growers for the best grown seeds of many varieties, particularly of beet, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, kale, kohl rabi, leek, onion (a few kinds), parsley, parsnip, radish, spinach, turnip, the choicer grades of flower seeds and all our Fall planting bulbs. The exceptions to these, however, namely, peas, beans, celery, cucumber, lettuce, melon, tomato, certain kinds of onion, we no longer import, for we have demonstrated our ability to grow the finest seeds of these ourselves more cheaply than can be done in Europe. Therefore what we are doing with these we can also do in producing commercially all other seeds required for the garden.
