Acquisition of Rohini Seeds in 2012 laid the foundation of seed business for offering Seed to harvest solution to Indian Farmers. Company established its presences with wide variety of hybrid seeds in Cotton, Maize, Rice and Pearl Millet segment.
Seed business was further strengthened with the acquisition of Syngenta's seed business of grain sorghum, fodder in 2018. Acquired seed brands viz. Mahalaxmi {Sorghum) and SX-17 {SSG) are market leaders in their respective categories.
Both the acquisitions i.e., Syngenta's and Bayer's Seed portfolios came with a world class R&D, designed to bring the best hybrids on a continuous basis through its breeding program.
R&D for our seed business is dedicated to creating new hybrids of major crops with improved quality and productivity. This includes improving tolerance to pests and other environmental stresses as well as quality characteristics such as nutritional composition and consumer appeal.
