Seed processing: The company has got separate processing unit equipped with different types of separators. The graders are used to separate the seeds according to the size, which includes laboratory model grader.

Seed testing: This forms the hub of quality control activities. Seed is tested for moisture physical purity, size, germination, and seed health.

Moisture testing: Moisture influences the viability and appearance of seed hence it is very important to test the moisture content of the seed before packing. The moisture content is determined with the help of moisture meter and expressed in terms of percentage.

Seed purity:
Maintenance of pure varietal seeds can be done by isolation distance of 400 meters for maintaining the genetic base of the population. We are producing seeds under our own supervision and if requires take the help and guidance of forage specialist and experts in seed production.
