Revolutionizing Crop Improvement with Speed Breeding Innovation

The School of Speed Breeding offers advance methods to reduce the time required for a crop to complete its growth cycle from seed sowing to seed harvest, advancing crop research, shorten breeding time, faster variety development, and bring advance farming solutions.

By optimizing photoperiods, light, temperature, and controlled environment conditions, we help develop multiple generations per year, instead of just one. Backed by our in-house R&D centre recognized by DSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, we specialize in practical, research-driven methods, and provide a unique platform to harness the full potential of speed breeding in agriculture and horticulture.

Our services are designed for breeders, researchers, and agri-businesses

We provide a complete range of services for individuals, research institutions, universities and companies involved in crop improvement. From training and consultancy to full speed breeding facility setup and protocol development, we support every aspect of speed breeding adoption.
