Parthenocarpy is when fruit develops without seeds, a trick we sometimes encourage with hormone sprays. But here in Nashik, even our 'seedless' grapes often have tiny pips—nature is stubborn. The books say bananas are naturally parthenocarpic, yet I’ve seen wild ones full of black seeds by the river. My own vineyard taught me that "seedless" is more a market promise than a field truth; last season’s spray failed in the rain, and the birds feasted on the seeded bunches we couldn’t sell.
