- Hybrid Maize: Single-cross hybrids featuring strong stalk lodging tolerance and full cob tip filling
- Pearl Millet (Bajra): Drought-hardy hybrids suited for arid and semi-arid rainfed tracts
- Vegetables: High-yielding hybrid seeds of tomato, chili, okra, and cucurbits
Sowing Practices, Seed Rate, and Plant Geometry
Sowing should align with seasonal monsoon arrival for Kharif crops or post-monsoon cooling for Rabi planting.
Using calibrated tractor seed drills ensures precise seed depth placement and uniform plant geometry for optimal sunlight capture.
- Seed rate: Follow package instructions for specific hybrid crops (e.g. 5 to 6 kg/acre for hybrid paddy nursery)
- Plant geometry: Maintain recommended row and plant spacing to optimize root aeration and canopy development
- Seed treatment: Procure certified pre-treated seeds or treat with approved fungicide before nursery sowing

Common questions
What crops are produced by Ravi Hybrid Seeds?
Ravi Hybrid Seeds produces certified hybrid seeds for paddy, maize, pearl millet (bajra), and commercial vegetables.
Why is it important to check the seed lot number on the bag?
The seed lot number allows official verification of seed testing reports, germination percentage, and physical purity standards.
Can hybrid seeds be saved from the harvest for next season?
No, farm-saved hybrid seeds segregate in subsequent generations, causing severe loss of yield and uniformity; fresh hybrid seeds must be sown each season.
