Seed business is Chia Tai’s first business. With the century-long experience, Chia Tai’s seed business is profoundly strong and continues to adopt state-of-the-art innovations for product improvement, making us one of Thailand’s first companies that invent, conduct research on, and develop various hybrid seeds. Now, we have over 485 species of quality seeds that have been exported to over 40 countries around the globe. Our key flagship products include pumpkin, watermelon, melon, cucumber, bitter melon, pepper, corn, and tomato.
Chia Tai is one of Thailand’s first seed producers certified by ISTA (International Seed Testing Association), which is a widely acclaimed accreditation in the global seed business.
Chia Tai always encourages people to spend quality time with their family. With a leisure time well dedicated to home gardening, people can enjoy eating their own home-grown vegetables, fulfilling themselves with both healthiness and small pleasures. At Chia Tai, we prepare a wide range of quality seeds, gardening supplies, and home garden DIY kits, making home gardening a simple and rewarding experiences, regardless of the available space they have.
With extensive experience in plant seeds coupled with deep understanding of our customers and partners, Chia Tai currently exports quality seeds to over 40 countries in 6 continents around the world. In addition, we continue to actively expand our business to the international markets in a bid to offer innovative agriculture for a better and sustainable quality of life to people across the region.
What’s the difference between OP seeds and F1 seeds?
F1 seeds also known as hybrid seeds, are from the first generation of a plant produced by breeding two related plants together. This is done to develop a particular trait like size, color, sweetness, or disease resistance. In most instances, the new hybrid plant and its seed become the patented property of the company or university that bred the plant. Hybrids are not to be confused with Genetically Modified Organism (GMOs), which are created with recombinant DNA techniques to produce, for instance, corn seed with a pesticide built into its genes. GMO’s are primarily produced for Big Agriculture. Typically, if you plant the seeds produced by the fruit or vegetables of an F1 hybrid in your garden, the plants will not be true to the parent plant – they may only bear a passing resemblance to what you were expecting. But it might also perform just like or better than the parent plant – it’s a gamble.
Open pollinated seeds include Heirloom seeds, as they are produced from parent plants that have been pollinated naturally by bees, flies, gnats, wind, etc., for many generations. They cannot be patented. A seed from an Open Pollinated plant, when properly selected, dried and stored, should produce relatively identical crops year after year, subject to soil and weather conditions.
Chia Tai’s seeds are certified by ISTA (International Seed Testing Association).
The International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) is an international organization that sets strict laboratory standards and methods for seed quality testing, which is accepted in the seed industry worldwide. ISTA standards are comparable to that of ISO, HACCP, GMP and others, which enforce strict seed quality controls regarding germination rate, vigor, genetic purity and seed contamination.
Chia Tai Co., Ltd. is the first Thai seed manufacturer in Thailand that obtained ISTA accreditation, for the purpose of delivering quality seeds with high yields, thereby helping farmers attain a good income. All equipment in Chia Tai’s Quality Assurance (QA) laboratory is routinely calibrated and measured to ensure compliance with ISTA standards.
Chia Tai’s R&D Team is comprised of breeders and scientists, who use a wide variety of biotechnology techniques, to support the selection of elite parent lines used in F1 hybrid seed production. To create new F1 hybrids in a shorter time and with precision, Chia Tai continues to develop and use molecular markers, pathogen artificial inoculation and tissue culture methods. High quality plant breeding is paramount for the development of new varieties that are well adapted and meet product targets in terms of traits. Thought must be given to the strength of a variety in a given climate, tolerance to disease pressures, high yield, quality and great taste of produce, as well as consideration of chemical residues in the environment, to get top quality seeds and safe produce to the market.
Chia Tai’s Pathology Laboratory serves two key functions for the development of new varieties:
Currently, Chia Tai has research and development (R&D) stations in several regions, to research and test plant varieties in areas with suitable climatic conditions for different crops:
Furthermore, we also have R&D stations in China to test the local brassica varieties in the cooler regions of southern China:
