National Seed Health System (NSHS)

The National Seed Health System (NSHS) is a formal framework that ensures seeds are free from harmful diseases and pests before they’re sold or planted. It involves testing, certifying, and managing seed health through standardized procedures. The goal is to promote healthy plant growth, improve crop quality, and prevent the spread of seed-borne illnesses across regions. By maintaining strict quality controls, NSHS supports agricultural productivity and biosecurity, ensuring farmers and consumers receive clean, high-quality seeds.
