Research and Development
At Sohni Dharti International Research Stations
Our Research and Development division is the cornerstone of our innovation and success. We are dedicated to advancing agricultural science and enhancing crop productivity through cutting-edge research and technological advancements. Our efforts are divided into several key areas:
Research & Development
Our commitment to research and development is unwavering. Through continuous innovation and scientific exploration, we strive to provide farmers with the best possible solutions to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. Join us in our journey to revolutionize agriculture and secure a brighter future for the farming community
Seed Production
Sohni Dharti International is largest hybrid Seed Producer in Pakistan, we Not only produce Quality hybrids but also Produces and markets Open pollinated certified seed. Certified seeds are produced while maintaining the strict quality control standards through our Trained and specialized Production team under the supervision of Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department (FSC & RD).
The seed produced is ensured by FSC & RD to be in good quality in terms of genetic purity, physical purity, seed health, germination, vigor under truth in labeling rules.
Basic Research
Our basic research focuses on developing superior inbred lines and inbred nurseries. By leveraging advanced breeding techniques, we aim to create new hybrids of field crops and vegetables. This foundational research is critical for generating high-yield, disease-resistant varieties that meet the evolving needs of farmers and the agricultural industry.
FIELD CROPS
Corn, Rice, Sunflower, Pearl Millet
Oil Seed
Mustard Hybrids
VEGETABLES
Cucumber, Tomato, Melon, Watermelon, Bitter Gourd, Chilies
Adaptive Research & Hybrid Development
In our hybrid development program, we conduct extensive adaptive research trials. These trials are designed to evaluate the adaptability and agronomic performance of different hybrids across various environmental conditions. Our goal is to identify and promote hybrids that exhibit superior adaptability, resilience, and productivity, ensuring they are well-suited for diverse farming landscapes.
Corn, Rice, Sunflower, Canola, Cotton, Pearl Millet, Sorghum Sudan Grass (SSG)
Potato, Tomato, Cucumber, Bitter Gourd, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Carrot, Radish, Eggplant Melon,
Watermelon.
Seed Quality Enhancement
Ensuring the highest quality of seeds is paramount. Our state-of-the-art Seed Testing laboratory is equipped to conduct comprehensive seed testing using basic & advanced techniques such Germination Test, Purity Test, Moisture Content Test, Seedling Vigor Test,
Tetrazolium Test, Accelerated Aging Test, Electrophoresis, Seed Health Test, Enzyme-Linked
Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). These tests are crucial
for detecting disease-free seeds, thereby guaranteeing that our products meet the highest
standards of quality and safety.
Our comprehensive seed testing protocols are designed to ensure that every seed we
produce and distribute meets the highest standards of quality and performance. Our
commitment to rigorous testing helps farmers achieve successful, healthy crops and
supports sustainable agricultural practices.
Tissue Culture and Seed Development
We are pioneers in seed development through tissue culture. Our dedicated tissue culture lab specializes in the propagation of high-quality, uniform plantlets that serve as the foundation for robust and vigorous crops. This technique not only enhances seed quality but also accelerates the breeding process, allowing us to introduce new varieties to the market more efficiently
Double Haploid Technology
Our research also includes the development of double haploid seeds. This cutting-edge technology significantly shortens the breeding cycle and ensures the production of genetically uniform and stable lines. Double haploid technology is a game-changer in the field of crop improvement, enabling the rapid development of superior corn varieties with desirable traits.
