Hybrid Seeds as the eventual fate of Agriculture | Shine Brand Seeds


The rise in population and with it the ever increasing demand for food, has created the need for better productivity. If the demand and supply balance is to be maintained, better means of production should be made available to the agriculture industry. This increasing demand for food and better means of production, lead to the introduction of Hybrid Seeds (cross-pollinated seeds).





Hybrid seeds are a result of special "breeding" techniques.  In other words, these seeds have been deliberately crossed with 2 different parent varieties.  The advantages of using hybrid seeds, even though they generally cost more than non-hybrid seeds, is that the resulting plant and fruit is often stronger and more resistant to disease. The fruit of the plant tends to be more uniform in shape, ripen at the same time, has better keeping qualities, and sometimes can be harvested early.  The disadvantages of using hybrid seeds is that you cannot save the seed from that plant for your next year’s garden.  The seeds are totally worthless for replanting.  This results in the gardener having to purchase new seeds each year.  This is the main reason companies like Monsanto want heirloom/organic type farming done away with.  These companies want you to rely on them for your food and seeds!  If you don't believe this, there is legislation going on right now trying to regulate organic farming, etc.  I invite you to visit the links below where I have posted the aforementioned bill!

This impending situation of world hunger is bringing hybrid seeds to the forefront of mass production again. Industry analysis experts believe that if agriculture is to keep providing food for all the people in the world, then agriculture should be looked upon as manufacturing industry, and should be treated like that as well.

Importance and Benefits of Organic Agriculture As in India, like about 50% of people employed in agriculture of the Indian work-force and contributed 17-18% to Country's GDP in 2018.

Key Factor To Increase The Production Of High Yield Vegetable Seeds!!

Image
High-yield vegetable crops are those that have been grown, genetically modified, or fertilized to improve their production yields. The world’s growing population are largely dependent on the ability of the agricultural industry to raise high yielding food crops. There are a different variety of factors associated with crop yield and the risks involved with farming. The main important factors that influence crop yield are soil fertility, availability of water, climate, and diseases or pests. Plant Early and Plant Effectively Choosing the right time to plant vegetables is often the most important part of planting. The best strategy to use to increase crop yields is; if your soil is ready, start planting. There are tests you can perform on the soil to see if it is ready for planting. Today’s hybrid seeds produce a more sustainable product, but knowing if your field is ready for early planting is just as important. Planting early can result in increased yields by taking ben
