Field Crops

Field crops refer to crops cultivated on a large scale for commercial purposes, such as rice, maize, millets, and wheat. They form the backbone of India's agriculture, contributing significantly to the economy and serving as staple foods in our daily diet.

Rice hybrids are specially bred varieties that offer improved characteristics such as yield, disease resistance, and quality. In Indian agriculture, rice hybrids play a crucial role in enhancing productivity and meeting the growing demand for rice.

INDAM offers a range of rice hybrids tailored to the diverse needs of farmers across India. This includes aromatic rice hybrids, non-aromatic rice hybrids, and open-pollinated (OP) rice varieties.

Aromatic rice hybrids are varieties known for their distinct aroma and flavour. They are popular for their fragrance and are often preferred for culinary purposes. These hybrids typically exhibit high-quality grain characteristics and are favoured by consumers.

Non-aromatic rice hybrids are varieties that do not possess the distinctive aroma of aromatic rice. However, they are valued for their high yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability to different agro-climatic conditions.

Open-pollinated (OP) rice varieties are traditional varieties that are pollinated naturally by wind, insects, or other agents. Unlike hybrids, which result from cross-breeding two different parent lines, OP varieties are genetically stable and can be saved and replanted year after year.
