Breeding is a long conversation with the land.
Our R&D programme assesses yield-limiting genes in popular varieties, identifies beneficial traits from available germplasm, and transfers them into new hybrids that farmers can actually grow.
Dr. I.D. Patel
M.Sc (Agri), Ph.D. Plant Breeding & Genetics
An eminent agricultural scientist who has played a significant role in Indian agriculture at state and national level. Over 42 years of teaching and research, Dr. Patel has developed 46 improved and hybrid varieties, authored 41 research papers in national and international journals, and received six national awards — including the Sardar Patel Award for his notable contribution to agriculture.
Three interlinked programmes.
Gene transfer for resilience
Transferring non-shattering genes into psyllium; blight and gamosis resistance into fennel; intersex genes into castor; six-locule genes into sesamum. Each trait is a decade of observation compressed into a seed.
Morphology for yield
Fast-growing genes in fodder bajara, dwarf genes in fennel, compact and long-spike types in castor females, late and early maturing lines in mustard — traits tuned to farmer calendars.
Foundation & quality control
The company provides foundation seed developed under breeder supervision. Experienced staff visit production plots through the season. Every lot passes germination, physical purity and genetic purity testing before packing.
