Harlal Seeds, a subsidiary of the YVR Group, has been offering a product line shaped by dedicated research and development efforts since 2013-14. While developing hybrids, we consider the wide-ranging differences in soil types, rainfall patterns, irrigation capabilities, sowing seasons, market demands, and the diverse cultivation practices of farmers in different states in India.
We specially focus on developing Maize hybrids for Bihar and other Eastern states, particularly during the challenging Rabi season when seed setting is always an issue for the farmers due to prolonged cold spells. Similarly for Western UP and Punjab regions where Spring season sowing is increasing every year, we have developed heat-tolerant hybrids that are extremely popular among farming communities. Likewise, the company has developed hybrids that withstand extended dry spells under rainfed conditions during the Kharif season for states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu etc. States. At the same time high-yield potential hybrids for assured irrigated conditions in Kharif and Rabi seasons are also developed for these states.
