Wheat Seeds
Wheat seeds are oblong, golden to pale yellow grains with a papery seed coat, rich in carbohydrates and moderate protein content, and mainly composed of endosperm, husk, and embryo. These seeds are sown mainly in autumn for winter wheat or in spring for spring wheat, with growth stages including germination, tillering, jointing, heading, and ripening, making wheat an essential staple food crop globally for human consumption and industrial use.
Varieties
Lok-1
Lok-1 is a popular wheat variety cultivated widely in central and western India. It is known for its high yield potential, good grain quality, and adaptability to different soil and climate conditions. Farmers prefer Lok-1 because it matures in a moderate duration and performs well under irrigated conditions.

HI-1544, also known as Pusa Gold, is a high-yielding wheat variety developed for cultivation under irrigated conditions. It is valued for its bold and lustrous grains with excellent chapati-making quality. Farmers prefer HI-1544 due to its good disease resistance, adaptability, and consistent performance across different regions.
HI-1634
HI-1634 is a high-yielding wheat variety suitable for timely sown irrigated conditions. It produces bold grains with good chapati-making quality and fetches better market value. This variety is also appreciated for its adaptability and resistance to common wheat diseases.
HI-1650
HI-1650, also known as Pusa Ojaswi, is a high-yielding wheat variety developed for timely sown, high-fertility irrigated conditions, especially in Central India. It is highly resistant to leaf and stem rust, making it a durable and disease-tolerant variety.
HI-8663
HI-8663, also known as Poshan, is a high-yielding and widely adapted wheat variety known for its excellent grain quality and stable yield. It is rich in nutrients like protein and micronutrients, making it ideal for nutritious chapatti, semolina, and pasta
HI-8759
HI-8759 (Pusa Tejas) is a high-yielding durum wheat variety developed for the central zone of India, showing excellent resistance to stem rust, leaf rust, and other diseases while providing an average yield of about 57 quintals per hectare with potential of over 75 quintals.
DBW-303
DBW-303 (also known as Karan Vaishnavi) is a semi-dwarf, high-yielding wheat variety developed by ICAR-IIWBR Karnal for timely sown irrigated conditions in the North Western Plains of India. It has exceptional resistance to yellow and brown rust diseases and produces high-quality grains with about 12.1% protein content, making it suitable for chapati and other food products.
GW-322
GW-322 wheat is a semi-dwarf variety known for its high yield potential of 60-65 quintals per hectare and is suitable for cultivation mainly in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh regions. It matures in about 115-120 days, requires 3-4 irrigations, and produces bold, lustrous grains that are good for making chapatis.
GW-513
GW-513 (Gujarat Wheat 513) is a high-yielding wheat variety developed by the Wheat Research Station, SDAU, Vijapur, and notified in 2021. It is suited for timely sown, high-fertility, irrigated conditions in Central India, producing an average yield of around 58.5 quintals per hectare with a potential of 77.4 quintals.
GW-547
GW-547 is a high-yielding wheat variety noted for its excellent performance in terms of grain and straw yield. It was found to produce one of the highest grain yields among tested genotypes, comparable to varieties like HI-1650 and GW-322, with strong crop growth characteristics including the highest number of tillers per square meter and dry matter accumulation.
ABPL-303
ABPL-303, also known as Agrawal biotech super 303, is a high-yielding wheat variety developed by Agrawal biotech private limited in India.
