Modern Seed Technology (MST) includes a wide range of technologies and practices to upgrade seed quality, enhance seedling and plant growth, and assess seed quality using imaging technology.

Quality seeds play a significant role in the agriculture production Vegetable quality improvement is a global requirement due to the current evolution of consumers’ demands. Hybrid varieties play a vital role in increasing vegetable production due to their high yield potential, early maturing, superior quality, disease, and pest resistance attributes.

Due to the ever-increasing demand of vegetables in our country, the use of hybrids become popular to fulfill the recommended consumption level of 300g of vegetables per capita per day. In the past two decades, in most of the vegetable crops such as tomato, cabbage, okra, capsicum, gourds, and melons, the open-pollinated varieties are being replaced with the hybrid ones.

Vegetables are essential for human health and well-being. For sustaining an excellent production of vegetable crops, the seed is a primary input. Moreover, good quality seed is an important requirement for the vegetable industry, and there is a huge demand that has been expanding, considering the fact that seed multiplication is economically pertinent for vegetable cultivars to contend commercially. But the healthy seed production is usually a sumptuous trait and tormented by agricultural tactics, genetics as well as by environmental factors.
