Steps involved for Hybridization programme
in tomato
The 7 steps involved in hybridization programme
mainly.
1. Selection of parents.(per se performance)
2. Evaluation of parents(GCA,SCA effect)
3. Emasculation of male flowers.
4. Bagging
5. Tagging
6. Pollination
7. Harvesting of F1 hybrid seeds.

RECENT ADVANCES IN SEED PRODUCTION OF COLE CROPS
INTRODUCTION
These are most important group of winter vegetables grown throughout the world.
The word Cole seems to have come word “Caulis” which means stem
The term Cole was used to refer the group of highly differentiated plants
originating from a single wild form known as “Cole Warts”.
Botanically it is Brassica oleracea var. sylvestris, family Brassicaceae.
Seed production of these crops is being exploited to a smaller extent to produce
high quality seeds.
Among the several seed production practices, standardization of sowing dates,
population dynamics , Spacing and adequate fertilizer plays a decisive role in
producing higher seed yield coupled with better quality traits.

INTRODUCTION
• Cabbage - Brassica oleracea var. capitata
• Cauliflower - Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
• Knol Khol / Khol rabi - Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes

• Sprouting Broccoli - Brassica oleracea var. italica

Vernalization and flowering
• Period of cold exposure before flowering is called
vernalization.
• Temperature of 4 to 100C for at least 4-6 weeks depending on
the duration of the exposure and the absolute temperature.
• The most effective temperature is 50C
• Longer vernalization also produces more flowers, which can
result in greater seed yield per plant.
• Biennial brassicas must be over-wintered for vernalization to
occur.
• Vernalization of the seed, seedling, or young plant is not
sufficient to cause flowering because there must be sufficient
nutrient reserves to support flowering.

4. At flowering stage

Seed production

A. In –situ or seed to seed method.
• The plants with good curd (cauliflower), head (cabbage) and knob (knol-khol) are
left in the field where they are planted for flowering and to produce seeds.
• The crop is allowed to complete its vegetative stage, bolting, flowering and set
seed in the same field after transplanting.
• This method is not advisable where the temperature attains zero or sub zero.
• Normally the yields are 10 % - 20% more and crop is ready for harvest about 10 to
5 days earlier than the other method.

Seed Production of Cucurbitaceous Vegetables
Cucurbits - Special Features
Luffa
Cucumber
• The isolation distance of 400 m for C.S. And 800m for F.S. And
atleast 1000m isolation is required for breeder seed production.
• Cucumber can cross easily with its wild relative Cucumis hardwickee
found in wild form insub-mountainous regions of Himalayas
