    A farmer does not become an entrepreneur only by adopting a new agricultural technology but he becomes an entrepreneur only when he comes to be an operator of a farm business (De, 1986).

Among the thirteen independent variables, seven variables viz., education, annual income, occupation, land holding, material possession, training received, economic motivation, market orientation showed positive and significant correlation with entrepreneurial behaviour. The major hurdle observed in seed production business were related to availability of inputs, farm machinery, awareness related to market, finance etc., annapratha, occurrence of insectpest and disease, as well as erratic weather conditions etc. For the increment in the level of entrepreneurial behaviour, it is required to provide more subsidies on the cost of inputs such as fertilizer, timely supply of good quality of seed by the sponsoring organizations along with capacity building and hand holding support to seed producers on recent technologies of seed production. To overcome with the different constraints of seed production the best remunerative price of seed must be ensured.
