abstract: The inevitable large‐scale plant germplasm exchanges between countries for crop improvement have led to strict plant quarantine inspections, safeguards, and sometimes restrictions. The paper describes the procedures and techniques adopted for the safe exchange by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi‐Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) plant germplasm in India. Safeguards for the imported germplasm include intermediate quarantine for groundnut (Arachis sp.) cuttings, fumigation, dry seed inspection, and microscopic examination followed by seed treatment and growing of healthy crops in a quarantine isolation area before releasing seeds of disease free progeny to the scientists. Similarly, inspection of crops before collection of seeds followed by fumigation, microscopic examination, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for groundnut viruses, seed treatment, and finally good packing have been found effective for export of healthy seeds
