Seed Production
Seed production is the process of growing plants specifically for the purpose of harvesting their seeds. This involves selecting high-quality parent plants that exhibit desirable traits, such as disease resistance or high yield. Once the plants are grown, they are pollinated, and the seeds are collected once they mature.
After harvesting, the seeds undergo cleaning and processing to remove any debris and ensure they are viable for planting. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain seed quality until they are ready to be used in agriculture or gardening. This process is crucial for sustaining crop production and biodiversity.
