Aruti Seeds has made Substantial investment  in R & D  and able to produce superior products to meet the customer needs. We have a specialized R & D department, headed by Mr. Rawat and Dr. Vinay K.R where the company is in process of developing new hybrids of mustard and wheat. The R & D team consists of qualified and trained breeders and technicians to conduct the breeding programme.” The research laboratory is located at Agra. We are major producers of seeds like pearl millet, paddy, mustard, wheat and S.S.G. The company does not yet have collaboration with any foreign country for the research activities being conducted on seeds. But we are in process to get some technical assistance on BT cotton.

Crop Genetics Research Work The laboratory also performs crop genetics research work. “Crop genetics has a very wide horizon but to sum it up it is just like taking best features of all the available varieties and then by performing their cross and conducting various grow out test, we make a variety that suits best to farmers.” He adds, “The production, processing and packaging of seeds are done as per stringent quality assurance norms. In today’s complex and competitive agricultural environment, superior research is essential to achieving crop improvements. Using both time-tested approaches and modern technologies, we provide our customers with premiere agricultural products.” The seed produced by the trusted farmers is brought by the company and processed and conditioned at the company’s own processing plant in Agra.

Advantages of Hybrid Seeds
Hybrid seeds are the cross of two varieties of seed depending upon the requirement of farmers. “The recently developed hybrids have provided high yields and better resistance to pests,” avers Mr. Agrawal.

Seed Production Process
“In producing of seeds we provide male and female seeds to farmers and then we require fields where we have at least 300m isolation so as to avoid cross pollination. Then we also have to look for off type plants in fields, through rouging method,” says Mr. Agrawal. The male and female seeds are developed in Aruti’s research lab which is provided to the farmers.


Future Plans
When asked about the company’s future plans, Mr. Agrawal says, “We are in process of developing better hybrids especially for wheat which will bring another green revolution in our country.”
Mr. Agrawal is an M .B.A. from U.P. Tech University Lucknow. “Being born in an agricultural trading family since my child hood, I had passion for agriculture, farming techniques and seeds. I do not have any technical qualification in the field of agriculture. It is only my experience of last 20 years,” he avers.
