MAIZE

Maize is a major staple food grain throughout the world, particularly in Africa, Latin America and Asia, and a major feed stuff in developed countries. The maize grain has many food (grain, flour, syrup, oil…) and non-food usages (cosmetics, adhesives, paints, varnishes). Maize starch and oil are also major products. The maize grain is a major feed grain and a standard component of livestock diets where it is used as a source of energy. Other grains are typically compared to maize when their nutritional value is estimated. Many by-products of maize processing for flour (hominy feed, bran, germs, oil meal), starch (corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal) and alcohol/bio fuel industries (distillers’ dried grains and solubles) can be fed to animals. Maize breeders have created many cultivars that correspond to specific climatic or agronomic conditions and uses.

Keeping this in view we are emphasizing on potential breeding strategies by strictly following heterotic groups for enhancement of combining abilities while concentrating on maximization of genetic diversity. We are concentrating on intensive inbred line development with unique features. We have four varieties of hybrid maize seeds, which takes place first choice or trusted brand among growers & farmers.
