Seed production is an important sector in crop production with high added value. Quality seed enables to exhibit the characteristics of the grown variety and to utilize its revenue potential. The diploma thesis features an analysis of the current market situation with organic certified seed in the Czech Republic in terms of the structure of seed multiplication areas, the quantity of recognized certified seed and permitted conventional untreated seed. Further assessment deals with the need for organic certified seed compared to current production in organic farming, evaluation of the structure of currently used seed in organic farming and possible causes of the lack of organic seed are also determined, including the proposed action. The literature review focuses on environmental seed production legislation, propagation, quality and seed control. The results of this thesis suggest that organic seed is propagated in the CR in an insufficient extent, for example, in comparison with neighbouring Austria. The quantity of organic certified seed in the CR is currently insufficient and does not cover the organic farming needs for growing major crops. Farm saved seed and permitted conventional untreated seed are predominantly used to establish vegetation. Organic seed was used in the minimum quantities.
