3. Closed "Standard Studio" Agricultural Production Process
The production process of F1 hybrid tomato seeds is carried out entirely within a modern closed greenhouse system, completely isolated from external harmful agents:
3.1. Original Seed Treatment & Seedling Raising
-
Original seeds received from customers are soaked and treated with specialized chemicals (soaked in warm water at 40°C for 2 hours, soaked in 10% TSP for 1 hour) to eliminate latent disease pathogens.
-
Seeds are thinned into 100-hole trays using BVB soil substrate imported from the Netherlands.
-
Seedlings are nurtured in the nursery for 20 - 25 days before being transferred to the production net house.
3.2. High-tech Cultivation Environment
-
Greenhouse system: Clean net house system, comprehensively disinfected with 2% Virkon and drip irrigation system treated with 10% HCl acid before each planting season.
-
Climate & Nutrition control: Applying automatic drip irrigation system, continuously monitoring and adjusting EC (electrical conductivity) and pH of nutrient solution suitable for each growth stage of tomato plants.
-
Field sanitation: Workers performing care and pruning must wear gloves and disinfect tools with 0.1% Physan solution or 0.2% Virkon after each plant to prevent virus spread (especially TMV virus transmitted by thrips).
3.3. Manual Hybridization Technique (Flower Removal & Pollen Application)
-
Pollination stage: Begins when plants are about 20 - 25 days old.
-
Male flower removal (Flower removal): Skilled workers use sterilized tweezers to completely remove the anther of the maternal flower when it is still in bud form (not yet opened). Commitment process: No flower opening, no pollen sacs left, and no damage to the stigma.
-
Pollen application (Pollination): After male flower removal for 24 hours, pollen is collected from the paternal line and manually applied to the maternal flowers at suitable temperature (about 28°C). Colored wool and zinc are used to mark the pollination date to control fruit age.
-
Pollination duration: Continuously lasts from 45 - 50 days from the start of pollination until completion.
3.4. Fruit Nurturing & Seed Harvesting
-
After pollination is completed, plants are supplemented with nutrients (Potassium, Calcium) to focus on fruit nurturing.
-
All excess self-pollinated flowers (OP) are thoroughly removed to avoid seed contamination.
-
The process of harvesting, seed separation, wastewater treatment after processing, and export packaging is performed according to standardized SOP procedures, with digital technical records stored by ERP software for traceability.
