safeguarding supply of planting material to local

characteristics of non true seed crop by regulatory body,
limit farmers to access high-quality planting material
thus increasing the risk of pest and disease transmission.
This paper is designed to presents methodologies used in
certification procedures of non-true seed crops and the
smart mango grafting practices that implies development
of quality and certifiable planting materials. The main
contribution of this study is to showcase the smart
grafting practices that would help the regulatory bodies
in the country to establish and enforce the certification
standard of non-true seed crops specifically Mango, to
guarantee the availability of quality planting material to
farmers as well as making a fully control of non-true
seed business just like the true seed crop business is.
