Seed Selection

Always use certified or TL seed having at least 98% purity, minimum 80% germination and admixture of other different varieties (ODV) should not exceed 0.5%. Use only well filled and heavy grains. Soak the seeds in salt solution (270 Gms in 10 Litres water) for about 15-20 minutes. Select heavier seeds that settles at the bottom after discarding the seeds that floats in the solution. Wash the seeds in clean water immediately after removing from the solution.
