3. Closed Production Process & High Technology Control
F1 hot pepper seeds are cultivated in Lam Tai’s modern closed greenhouse system, strictly complying with the following technical standards:
3.1. Seed soaking & Seedling nurturing
Original seeds upon receipt are soaked and treated with specialized chemicals (soaked in warm water at 40°C for 2 hours, treated with 10% TSP for 1 hour) to completely remove pathogens on the seed coat.
Seeds are thinned into clean 100-hole trays sterilized with 10% Javen.
Seedlings are periodically cared for in the nursery for 30 - 35 days before being transferred to the large net house for planting.
3.2. Safe biological cultivation environment
-
Net house sterilization: Before planting, the entire water trough system, hanging wires, tools, and greenhouse are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized with 2% Virkon and the drip irrigation system is treated with 10% HCl acid.
-
Automatic nutrition: Applying drip irrigation technology continuously controlling EC index, pH, and water supply suitable for each growth stage of the pepper plants.
-
Cross-infection prevention: Care and pruning workers must wear gloves and disinfect with 0.1% Physan solution or 0.2% Virkon after each plant to minimize the spread of harmful viruses (such as TMV virus transmitted by thrips).
3.3. Strict manual breeding technique (Male sterility & Pollination)
-
Pollination stage: Begins when the pepper plants reach about 40 days old.
-
Flower emasculation (Male sterility): Trained workers remove all petals and anthers of the maternal flower while still in bud form. Ensuring compliance with the rules: No flower removal retraction, no removal of blooming flowers, no leftover pollen sacs, and continuous sterilization of tweezers.
-
Pollination (Pollination): Manual pollination is performed by transferring pollen from the paternal line to the stigma of the maternal flower under environmental temperature controlled appropriately for each variety (usually around 28°C). Using colored wool and zinc to accurately mark the pollination date.
-
Pollination duration: The pollination process occurs continuously and is completed within about 15 - 20 days.
3.4. Fruit care & Seed harvesting
After pollination ends, plants are supplemented with potassium and calcium to nurture the fruit and all open-pollinated (OP) flowers are removed to ensure absolute purity of F1 seeds.
The process of harvesting ripe fruit, separating seeds, wastewater treatment, and export packaging is standardized according to SOP, KPI procedures and integrated management on ERP software for production history traceability.
