Hybrid seeds are harvested like any other. It's how they're polinated and grown that is different. The company has to ensure that the 2 "parents" are the right 2 parents. The mother plant is obvious, but they have to ensure that polination happens with the right father plant. Different plants have different methods for accomplishing this.
