Wasslam wa barakatullah Mr. Sollehin Fuaad, actually I bought the bigger long sized roots/corms from market (Pasar Awan Sandakan) and just a small part of the top (shoot) I planted into polybags. Sorry I don't know the variety name. Its very common in that market @ RM 5.00/kg.

Hello Mai Luc, thank you so much for your nice comment. It is my happiness and inspiration if anyone benefits from my effort.

Male flowers are available in the same plants or can also be collected from similar other plants as they are monoecious plants

@@md.amirulalam4994 Hi Sir from past one month i am not getting male flowers

Thank you Sir for your query. Yes, immediately after emasculation can do the cross-pollination (at the afternoon time or even at the morning also can do) but better to do it at the next morning to consider the best time of anthesis period (maturity of the both stigma and pollen), and this is recommended for high success rate.

@@mdamirulalam-6449 Thank you Amirul.

Hello Mr., Seed Sci & Tech has good demand in Malaysia but if you had PhD then you could try in Malaysia. Start writing to various univ globally for PhD scholarship. So far you are from India so in the mean time you can try to work in Seed Companies for real and practical experiences. India is one of the best country for seed sector. Wishing all the best.

No, not like that. Its depends on what type of variety you are growing.

Hello, actually the flowering time varies with types of varieties and temperatures (normally low temp than usual), on an average it takes about 50-60 days after showing (DAS) and then need 2-3 weeks more to harvest the mature seeds (also varies with varieties).

Thank you so much Miss to reach me. However, please go through this link (apps.lucidcentral.org/pppw_v10/text/web_full/entities/pineapple_wilt_disease_380.htm#:~:text=Look%20for%20a%20change%20of,of%20pineapple%20wilt%20is%20difficult.), hopefully will be helpful for you

Yes your are right, as because my 6 years old daughter helped me to capture that video. Sorry for the inconvenienced caused

Yes, you are right. I couldn't capture properly. Sorry for the inconvenienced caused

If you cross in-between two hybrids the new F1 truly will be F2 generation and combination of multiple parents with major variability. For research purpose researcher can do this for the development of new parental lines but for general growers should not do that.

Thank you so much brother, want to produce more videos but couldn't due to time constraints

It depends on variety to variety, country to country, climatic condition, soils and management as well.

Dear Mr., Oil Palm is a monecious tree (male and female flowers are in the same plant), meaning is that there is no question about selection of gender but yes! if it is related to hybridization then based on desired characteristics we need to select one as a male and another one as a female and obviously the process is by controlled cross-pollination. Hopefully it is clear to you.

If there is no stress condition sprouting will be started by two months after transplanting into the media. Some varieties may be early or delayed. And obviously environment is a factor.

Sir how long does it take to put on spine apple

Very simple, higher concentration. If you can afford better to use higher concentration for quick results

It depends on seed types; can be 2 hours to 24 hours. We used Memmert brand Water Bath.

I will try my best, thank you for your suggestion

Assalamualikum Encik. How are you all? Okay you can visit with your family and kids.

Dear Mr., cross-pollination is the pollination of bringing/using pollen from another plants (flowers); but self-pollination is just using pollen of the same plants flower. Artificial pollination can be done anytime depends on availability of flowers; nothing else.

Yes Sir, thank for your comments and nice observation. Yes you are right, the taste is not pleasant but as you know due to continuous climate change and microclimatic variation many of our cultivated crops can't grow everywhere i.e., in similar climatic condition so, as plant scientist we are always searching for some new types of plants/crops even from the vast weed germplasms as our alternative food crops. And doing this we need to consider such minor unpleasant tests or flavors. We need to consider whether there is any major issues about anti-nutritional factors or health related toxicities. If no then no problem. I was truly surprised to observe the growing habits of that Brazilian spinach, the soil where I couldn't grow any other vegetables in that same soil Brazilian spinach is growing very nicely. And it is ratooning types can be harvested again and again from the continuous re-branching, which is very rare in other leafy vegetable's.

@@mdamirulalam-6449 I fully agree and appreciate your views about sissoo (Brazilian spinach). Yes, we need to promote new unconventional (unconventional in sense that there are not popular food veggies), sissoo fits as one of these unconventional vegetables. I firmly believe that not just due to change in climate but in case of wars and shortages of food supply, vegetables like Brazilian spinach comes in handy, it is easy to grow, and when it does grow, it does so abundantly. So, one reason why I still have 3 pots of Brazilian spinach at home (Haha!). I also grow MENGKUDU (noni plant which I eat leaves as cooked vegetable), KERMAK (Alternanthera sessilis), SELOM (Oenanthes javanic) and KELADI (Taro, Colocasia) etc, all of which are I think unconventional crops. Btw, I like the taste of mengkudu, kermak, selom and keladi way better than sissoo/Brazilian spinach. I see that you are a lecturer at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, I am a former lecturer at UPM in Serdang (Fisheries/Aquaculture), I am retired now.

For normal production no need (as okra is a self-pollinated crop) but for research purpose or keeping/maintaining the parental line seeds need to do that.

Dear Akhila, thank you so much, will try my best.

Yes obviously can, but for that purpose you have to follow the standard procedure; removal of other male flowers (before blooming) from the selected female branch and bagging before and after cross-pollination until successful fertilization and tagging for identification.

@@mdamirulalam-6449 Thank you very much sir for the info, that's great indeed, do we have to apply insecticide before bagging sir?

Thank you
