Rice is one of the top cereal crops for food security in the world. The importance of rice in Asian countries has given impetus to Vibha Seeds Group to develop a strong research base for providing farmers their real choice. The exploitation of heterosis breeding has made an impact in other Asian countries but its full potential is yet to be realized in India. Considering this, VSG has laid equal research emphasis on the development of high yielding, high quality hybrids and varieties. |
