Seed production involves cultivating plants specifically for seed harvesting to ensure genetic purity, high germination rates, and vigour. This includes selecting high-quality parent plants, managing pollination, protecting against pests and diseases, and optimising environmental conditions. After maturation, seeds are harvested, cleaned, tested for quality, and stored under controlled conditions to maintain viability. This process is crucial for producing reliable and consistent seeds for agricultural and horticultural use.

The main aim of seed production is to grow plants in a controlled environment with the sole purpose of getting healthy seeds that can be used to produce healthier, sweeter, pest-resistant, or high yielding plants.
