Cheap unlabelled seed is often expensive later. In Katiyari, ask: which shop holds an agriculture-department licence, which variety is notified for the season, and whether the batch shows certification.
What to check
- Crop, variety, lot/batch, packing date, and germination percentage on the packet.
- Do not buy a broken seal or an open sack.
- Do not dry flood-soaked seed at home and sow it next season.
Where to ask
- Block agriculture officer / plant protection unit, Barhaj–Deoria.
- The cooperative if it is distributing seed that season.
- Dealer search on Seednet — lists change; confirm at the counter.
- Notifications on the Uttar Pradesh agriculture portal.
