How virus-free chilli seeds are made: male vs female chilli seeds
Original: నల్లి వైరస్ రాని మిరప విత్తనాలను ఎలా తయారు చేస్తారు? | What is male and female chilli seeds
Takeaway
Buy branded machine-processed chilli seed (e.g. Mrida Veda 99) because manual-picked lots carry 20-30% chaff that drives virus, low germination and field collapse.
Summary
- Mrida Crop Sciences (B2B seed supplier) explains hybrid chilli seed production for variety Veda 99.
- Only the first picking of crossed pods goes for seed processing; subsequent pickings sold as commercial fruit.
- Crossing: bag flowers, emasculate, hand-pollinate, tag with thread; very labour-intensive, hardest among veg seed production.
- Mechanical processing separates heavy (healthy) seed from light tale; manual-pick lots include 20-30% chaff that gives 60-70% germination and poor disease tolerance.
- Unhealthy seed is the root cause of leaf-curl virus, pest susceptibility, and 20-30 DAT crop collapse; machine-processed seed gives near-100% healthy germination.
