Hybrid seed production technologies for brinjal and tomato

Primary tabs

Brinjal Hybrid  Arka Navneet:

Emasculation and immediate pollination in evening at full bud stage  one day prior to anthesis resulted in highest percent  fruitset (55%) and 100% recovery  of hybrid seeds  without any compromise in seed quality similar to conventional   crossing.

Tomato Hybrid  Arka Abhijit:

Retention of  three flowers per truss is recommended while  crossing for enhanced higher seed yield ( 10g /plant)and quality (compared to non-nipping of flowers( 63%).

 A  female to male flower ratio  of  4:1 is a  favourable   for higher fruitset (60%) in semideterminate tomato. However, this could be extended  to 5:1 ratio without  affecting  seed yield  and 100 seed weight.
