10. Commercial seed growing

Seed can be propagated commercially for many different reasons, for example:

to propagate plants for selling to the public such as annuals, bedding plants, herbs, vegetable seedlings etc
for scientific research and experimental development of new plant varieties
to reproduce plants for specific purposes such as habitat restoration
to propagate plants for food production that are grown inside, such as tomatoes, melons, peppers, cucumbers etc.
