Innovation in hybrid seed production of vegetable crops: A review

Author(s):
Sahil, Rajitha Nair and Sanjeev Kumar
Abstract:
Accessibility of profitable method to deliver huge scope F1 seeds chosen parental lines is a significant factor, which in the long run decides the trading viability of the hybrid genotypes. In Vegetable crops, albeit hybrid varieties can be produced through various methods like hand emasculation for hermaphrodite crops, accompanied by pollination of emasculated flowers and various other breeding methods, viz, male sterility, self-incompatibility, Chemical Hybridizing Agent (CHA). Commercial hybrid seed production based on these mechanisms is economically viable almost in all vegetables especially in tomato, brinjal, cucurbits, sweet pepper, etc in which a huge number of F1 generation seeds are produced from a single cross-pollinated fruit. Different approaches are advanced for the improvement of marketable and experimental hybrids. Therefore, these methods can play an important role in producing effective amount of vegetable seeds which will ameliorate the total productivity, production.
