Breeding Innovations and Core Seed Portfolios
Krishidhan Seeds focuses on developing drought-tolerant, high-yielding crop hybrids adapted to the agro-climatic conditions of rainfed and irrigated Indian farming belts.
Their certified seed processing infrastructure ensures high genetic purity, seed health, and vigorous germination percentages.
- Hybrid Bt cotton: Renowned Bollgard II hybrid cotton seeds providing genetic protection against bollworms with excellent fiber staple quality.
- Cereals & millets: High-yielding hybrid pearl millet (bajra) and grain sorghum (jowar) bred for drought tolerance and stay-green fodder traits.
- Oilseeds & pulses: Certified soybean, chickpea, and pigeonpea seeds selected for synchronous maturity and pod-shattering resistance.
- Quality certification: Compliant with the Seeds Act of 1966, bearing official Blue (Certified) and Truthful Label packaging tags.
Seed Selection and Agronomic Best Practices
Selecting verified certified seed lots ensures optimal plant population per acre and lowers seedling mortality.
Farmers should treat seeds with biological agents or approved fungicides prior to field drilling.
- Verify packaging: Purchase in sealed, tamper-evident packaging with lot numbers, purity percentages, and testing validity dates.
- Germination testing: Conduct a pre-sowing germination test on 50 to 100 seeds to confirm lot viability.
- Seed dressing: Inoculate with Rhizobium (for pulses) or Azotobacter (for cereals) and Trichoderma bio-fungicide to prevent collar rot.

What major crop seeds are produced by Krishidhan Seeds?
Krishidhan Seeds produces hybrid Bt cotton, hybrid pearl millet (bajra), sorghum (jowar), soybean, paddy, and pulse seeds.
What should farmers inspect on seed packaging before purchasing?
Inspect the certification tag, seed lot number, genetic and physical purity percentages, minimum germination rate, and validity test date.
Why is seed treatment recommended before sowing hybrid seeds?
Seed treatment protects vulnerable germinating seedlings from soil-borne fungi (collar rot, damping off) and early sucking insects.
