Seed production techniques for tomato

Primary tabs

  • Application of 150 kg N/ha with a spacing of 75 x 45 cm resulted in the highest seed yield of tomato (137 kg/ha).
  • Number of fruit pickings exerted marked influence on the seed yield and quality parameters of tomato.  For good quality seeds initial 2-3 pickings should be made
  • In tomato, seed recovery and seed quality in mechanical extraction followed by fermentation for 18h (0.78%) was on par with manual crushing and fermentation for 18h (0.82%) but seed lustre was dull compared to control.
