Research & Development:

Mr. Jagdeep Singh Cheema, Director, is chief of our R&D division. Our main research station and other facilities are located in Ludhiana. The supporting stations are in the states of Himanchal Pradesh and Karnataka. In every respect, may it be for agri-climatic conditions or regional consumer preferences, India is very diverse. To meet these requirements plus to combine all the desirable traits like higher yield, disease resistance, wider adaptability, longer shelf life and better appeal (size, shape, colour, taste) the mandate to our breeders is very demanding. With our moderate resources, our breeders have done a commendable job by following the conventional methods of breeding and very skillfully combining the modern technology with it. After the development of the product, a very rigorous testing regime is followed under different agro-climatic conditions. We make sure that our products excel and are able to absorb the fluctuations, abiotic stresses and other abuses e.g physiological disorders.

Our breeders are also conscious of the economics of seed production. The mechanism of self-incompatibility and CMS system has been transferred into most of our Brassica group of vegetables and fully exploited to achieve higher seed yield, most economically and efficiently.

National Recognition Granted to research and R&D:

On the strength of our extended research facilities, the quality of  infra-structure, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India has recognized our Research Centre vide their registration no TU/IV-RD/2510/2007.

Seed Processing, Seed Health, Seed Quality:
We have well laid out assembly line of equipments and  and machines for cleaning, grading, sizing and packing. All of our seed lots are duly tested for physical and genetic purity. It must meet the high standards of germination, vigour and seed health.
