A critical competency which every successful seed company nurtures and allows it to evolve is “Product Testing and Evaluation” and at SeedWorks we strongly believe that it is important for us to Launch and Commercialize most adaptable and stable Products only after thorough testing and Evaluation in varied Agro-Climatic zones and environments considering the farming diversity we experience in India and Asia.
Product Testing, Evaluation and Development is a critical competency which is well nurtured in SeedWorks. The Success of a Seed organisation revolves around the Product and identifying the Right Product which meets the customer needs. We built a technically strong, trained team which works closely with the farmers in identifying their needs and then suggest the appropriate product which meets their expectations and those of the end users too.
Product development as a competency is the strength of SeedWorks as is evident looking at the high levels of satisfaction of the farmers with SeedWorks products. We have accomplished this due to the rigour with which the products are tested, evaluated and advanced.
With the help of the strong R&D team whose constant endeavour is to give the highest yielding products which meet the farmer requirements along with focussed defensive traits. The Product Development teams do their bit by laying out trials in the representative farmer fields to evaluate these products under farmer cultivation conditions under various geographies, climatic conditions, management practices and seasons to arrive at consistent products and then advance – along with the data generation, the observations of the operational frontline team and the feedback from the farmers are critically considered while we promote products and this ensures that the farmers get the products which are picked from their own fields.
Our Product Development Team
We have a Committed and Passionate product development team catering to almost all the climatic zones of India to test, evaluate and advance our pipeline products comparable and superior than the best products available and grown by the farmers.
Our Product Development Team evaluates products for:
Our PD team not only does product testing and evaluation but also tries to understand various process and farmer practices and strives to train and educate the farmers on the best practices of cultivation to improve the farmer income and productivity.
Product Evaluation and Testing Process
We test our products on the representative farmers’ fields, managed by the farmers to ensure our pipeline products perform to their potential on the farmers cultivation practices
A rigorous testing process where our PD team tests the products in our trials for two years and once advanced to the next level, the products are planted as On Farm Demonstrations in large plots and post feedback from the farmers are commercialized with much confidence and to the delight of the farmers and customers.
Productivity Improvement and Farmer Service
SeedWorks has Farmers Service as its mission and we always strive to look for new opportunities to impact the farmers’ current practices, train them with new interventions in Agriculture, Advisory services for improved productivity, partner with the farmers to introduce newer tested innovations with an aim to see a smiling contended farmer using our SeedWorks products.
We believe that superior genetics deliver their greatest value when supported by the right agronomic practices. Our Product Development teams therefore work closely with farmers to identify opportunities to improve crop productivity through better cultivation practices, including:
By combining the right product with the right agronomy, we help farmers unlock the full potential of our products.
Building Technical Capability
Our Product Development team is a strong technical resource for both farmers and the organization. We conduct regular product and crop management training programs for our frontline teams, equipping them with the knowledge required to recommend the right products and provide meaningful crop advisory to farmers. We also organize farmer meetings, crop seminars, field demonstrations and technical interactions to share knowledge, understand farmer challenges, and promote improved cultivation practices. This two-way exchange of knowledge helps us continuously learn from the field and strengthen our products and recommendations.
Partnering with the Agricultural Ecosystem
SeedWorks actively collaborates with State Agricultural Universities, research institutions, and government agencies to strengthen product evaluation, benchmarking, and knowledge exchange.
Our university trials help benchmark SeedWorks products against established checks and leading products, while our engagement with government-led agricultural initiatives enables us to support productivity improvement and crop diversification programs. These partnerships strengthen our connection with the wider agricultural ecosystem and contribute to the advancement of sustainable and productive farming.
Our Commitment
Product Development at SeedWorks is driven by one clear objective:
To bring the right products, proven in the farmer’s field, to farmers with confidence. Through scientific rigor, extensive field testing, farmer insights, and continuous learning, we strive to build a product portfolio that delivers consistent performance and creates lasting value for farmers.
