But, in Turkey, generally use of certificed seed of grain legumes by farmer is low. They haven’t got custom of using variety and certificed seed is rather expensive. Legume crops are self pollinated Therefore, the farmers are using the seeds that they produce on their own. Both public sectors and private seed companies produce the certificed grain legume seeds, but, in Turkey seed production is too few to provide the requriment of grain legume seeds. Control of seed quality in seed production must conform to statutes of National Certification Standart. These are varietal purity, good germination, good seedling vigor, free from desease infections, free from weed seed, right moisture percentage, good level of phiysical pruity, good maturity period and uniform seed.
