Cultivating your own medicinal plants from seeds is becoming increasingly vital as
more people around the world take up gardening and growing their own food.
Gardening aficionados are experimenting with plants and space in all kinds of places
from backyards to terraces and as a result we now have herb and medicinal gardens
in addition to kitchen gardens.

2. Hybrid seeds
Hybrids are created by artificial pollination to develop new varieties. The seeds
obtained by artificial pollination (cross pollination) are called hybrid seeds. The plants
obtained from these seeds are called hybrid plants. These plants are developed to
obtain desired qualities like high yield, disease resistance etc. Advantages of
hybrid seeds - Higher productivity, Wider adaptability, and Enhanced resistance to
biotic and abiotic stresses.
UPSDL provide you with varieties of Hybrid vegetable seeds, such as Bhindi,
Tomato, Capsicum, Chillies, Cauliflower, Cabbage, and many more

TISSUE CULTURE
Plant tissue culture is a sophisticated technique used to propagate and grow plants
under controlled laboratory conditions. It involves the cultivation of plant cells,
tissues, or organs in an artificial nutrient medium under sterile conditions.
Through tissue culture, plants can be reproduced rapidly and efficiently, bypassing
the traditional method of seed propagation. This method is invaluable for preserving
rare or endangered plant species, as well as for producing disease-free plants.
Advantages of Tissue Culture?
a. Plants are just like the mother plant
b. The new plants are free from pests and diseases
c. All the plants grow the same way, which increases the produce
d The crops grow faster, and we can use the land efficiently, even in places with
small farms
e. We can plant the seedlings all year round
f. The crops can be harvested twice in a short time, which saves money
g. Harvesting is not spread out over time
The company's mission is to make Indian farming economically viable, safe, and
sustainable. Over the years, the company has endeavoured to set the standards for
providing the highest quality products through the utilization of state-of-the-art
production techniques with an ultimate focus on satisfying the requirements and
needs of their customers.
UPSDL facility has been a benchmark for innovation, delivering high-quality
plants and empowering sustainable agricultural practices.
Variety – Banana , pomegranate , strawberry , pineapple , guava , gerbera , money
plant , anthurium , Aglaonema , orchids, roses , etc .
OP VARIETIES
OP stands for open-pollinated, which is a type of plant variety that is produced
through natural breeding processes. OP varieties are considered to be the most
natural type of seed.
What are the benefits of OP varieties?
a. OP varieties can be saved and replanted to grow the same plant again.
b. OP varieties can be adapted to unique places and selected for unique traits.
c. OP varieties can create strength, security, resiliency, and abundance.
In India, some examples of Open Pollinated (OP) varieties include: traditional
rice varieties like Basmati, local varieties of pulses like "Toor Dal" (pigeon
pea), "Arhar Dal" (pigeon pea), certain types of sugarcane, and heirloom
tomato varieties grown in different regions, cucumber , radish all of which can
be propagated by saving seeds from the plants grown in the current season
and replanting them to produce similar crops in the next generation.
Research variety seed
Research variety seeds are seeds that are developed through experiments and trials to improve
crop yields and quality.
Benefits of research variety seeds
a. Increased crop yields: Research variety seeds can produce more crops per square meter,
which can help to reduce famine and improve food security.
b. Shorter life cycle: This allows farmers to grow multiple crops in a year.
c. Disease resistance: Research variety seeds can be more resistant to insects and other
diseases
These seeds can include rice, wheat, chickpea, tomato, mango, cucumber, and peas.
Some more examples of research variety seeds based on crop type:
a. Cereals:
Rice: "Dhala Heera" (resistant to multiple diseases), "Sonamani" (high yield potential).
Wheat: "HD 2967" (drought tolerant), "PBW 343" (high protein content).
Maize: "Dekalb 888" (hybrid with high yield potential), "Pioneer 30G82" (disease resistant).
b. Pulses:
Chickpea: "ICC 9603" (early maturing), "Pusa 372" (drought resistant).
Lentil: "LL 1211" (high protein content), "BML 2" (disease resistant).
c. Oilseeds:
Soybean: "JS 93-05" (high oil content), "NRC 37" (suitable for mechanical harvesting).
Groundnut: "ICG 1215" (drought tolerant), "TMV 2" (high yield potential).
d. Vegetables:
Tomato: "Roma VF" (processing type), "Celebrity" (disease resistant).
Cucumber: "Marketmore 70" (high yield), "Sweet Success" (disease resistant).
Research products in a seed company usually belong to a specific category, such as crop types
with particular features or characteristics. For instance, UPSDL might have a research category
focused on pulses like Moong or Guar, etc. UPSDL provide disease-resistant, and genetically
strong Moong seeds that are adapted to a range of growth environments.
