A general scheme is proposed here to describe the production of semi soft and soft quarks and gluons that form the bulk of the plasma in ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions. We show how to obtain rates as a function of time in a self consistent manner, without any ad-hoc assumption. All the required features - the dynamical nature of QCD vacuum, the non-Markovian nature of the production, and quasi particle nature of the partons, and the importance of quantum interference effects are naturally incorporated. We illustrate the results with a realistic albeit toy model and show how almost all the currently employed source terms are unreliable in their predictions. We show the rates in the momentum space and indicate at the end how to extract the full phase-space dependence.
