Advancing Avocado Research & Rootstock Innovation

Strategic Partnerships Driving Genetic Excellence Across India

We have established a strategic partnership with ICAR - IIHR and NBPGR for the import of genetic material, germplasm, and our own field gene banks. As part of this initiative, various cultivars are being assessed across multiple sites across 200 locations in India through commercial plantations. A large-scale mass rootstock trial block covering 40 acres has been executed in Hyderabad, encompassing diverse soil types including Sandy, Sandy loam, Clay, Clay with Lime Comprehensive evaluation and systematic data collection are being carried out to analyze performance and adaptability across these varied conditions.
