Cultivating Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture

At Abhita Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd., our Seed Division plays a pivotal role in transforming modern agriculture by developing and delivering high-quality seeds to farmers and agri-businesses. We understand that the seed is the very foundation of every crop. As such, we are committed to research-driven innovation, precision seed production, and rigorous quality assurance that empower farmers to achieve better productivity, sustainability, and profitability.

With the increasing demand for food and the rising challenges posed by climate change, pests, and limited natural resources, our Seed Division focuses on breeding seed varieties that not only yield more but also adapt better to changing environmental conditions.

Why Seeds Matter

Seeds are more than just planting material they are the blueprint of a successful harvest. High-performing seeds directly influence:

Crop yield and quality
Resistance to diseases and pests
Adaptability to different agro-climatic zones
Efficient use of inputs like water and fertilizer

By ensuring farmers have access to genetically superior and certified seeds, we contribute to food security, sustainable farming practices, and agricultural resilience across regions.

Our Approach

Our Seed Division follows a comprehensive, science-backed approach to seed development and distribution. Each stage from research to the final packaging is handled with precision and a deep understanding of modern farming challenges.

1. Research & Development

At the core of our seed division is cutting-edge R&D, where our team of agricultural scientists and plant breeders continuously work to develop new seed varieties. Our research programs target:

High-yielding hybrids
Climate-resilient crops
Pest and disease resistance
Drought tolerance and water efficiency
Better nutritional profiles

Our breeding programs cover key crops including:

Cereals: Maize, Paddy (Rice)
Legumes: Soybean, Tur (Pigeon Pea), Chickpea
Horticulture: Vegetable and fruit seeds (custom offerings available)

We collaborate with agricultural universities, ICAR institutes, and other research bodies to ensure our varieties meet both farmer needs and industry standards.

2. Seed Production

Once a new variety is approved, we initiate large-scale seed production through partnerships with contract growers and certified farms. Our production practices include:

Use of foundation and breeder seeds for purity
Supervised growing with regular inspections
Isolation distances to avoid genetic contamination
Timely harvesting to maintain seed viability

Our production farms are located in carefully selected agro-climatic zones to ensure optimum seed quality and performance.

3. Processing and Packaging

Post-harvest, seeds undergo a meticulous processing protocol at our modern seed conditioning units equipped with:

Cleaners and graders
Gravity separators
Seed coaters and polishers
Moisture control units

This ensures that only physically and genetically pure seeds are selected. We then package the seeds in moisture-proof, tamper-evident, and pest-resistant bags to ensure long shelf life and integrity during transportation.

Custom packaging options are available for retail and bulk orders, catering to farmers, cooperatives, and agri-input dealers.

4. Quality Testing and Certification

Our in-house quality control lab follows strict ISTA (International Seed Testing Association) and Indian seed standards to ensure:

Germination rates meet or exceed standards
Purity and moisture levels are within range
Seed health is verified and free of pathogens
Seed treatments are safely and evenly applied

All seed batches are certified by government-authorized agencies and come with batch numbers for traceability. Every package is backed by technical documentation and advisory services for farmer support.

5. Distribution and Farmer Engagement

With a strong distribution network, we ensure our seeds reach farmers on time and in perfect condition. Our marketing and field staff work directly with:

Farmers and self-help groups
Agriculture extension officers
Input retailers and cooperatives

We conduct field demonstrations, farmer meetings, and training programs to help farmers:

Understand best agronomic practices
Optimize input use based on seed variety
Improve productivity while reducing costs

Sustainability and Food Security

At Abhita Agro, our seed division supports global efforts to promote climate-smart agriculture. By developing stress-tolerant and resource-efficient seeds, we help farmers
