cost. Stick method for smaller size plots and where plots are irregular in shape or uneven in topography and where labor is
sufficient. In rope pulling method nylon rope should run parallel to the parental rows. Frequency and efficiency are more important
than methodology. SP frequency at maximum 30min. interval 3-5 times daily until the restorer line ends flowering. Total number of
pollinating days – Minimum of 12-15. Spray water for female at flowering stage in evening to extend stigma receptivity, when
temperature is high.
Supplementary pollination Male harvesting
Harvesting & Post harvest management : Stop the irrigation and drain the water 7 -10 days before harvest. Harvest male plants
first, check the field thoroughly such that no male panicle is left in the male rows. Harvesting to be done when 95% of the grains
turn straw color or golden yellow color. Clean the combined harvester before harvest. Avoid heaping after harvest. Dispatch the
seed when moisture attains below 12%.

Nuziveedu Seed Testing Laboratory (IN - 12) is the fifth laboratory
in INDIA which is accredited by ISTA and is the only laboratory in
AP and Telangana states.The laboratory is authorized to issue
Orange International Certificate .

NSL R&D in BiotechnologyNuziveedu seeds Limited (NSL) has been consistently ranked as No-1 Company in the Bio-Agri category, since 2008, in theABLE(Association of Biotech Led Enterprises) –Biospectrum survey on Biotechnology industry in India.(http://www.ableindia.in/pdf/reports24_10_survey.pdf ). The survey ranking is based on the highest revenues in Agri-biotechcategory, which NSL has accomplished by being having the largest market share in GM Cotton or Bt Cotton in India, the only GMcrop developed by Biotechnology commercialized in India.
The Biotechnology Division which is a part of R&D vision of NSL was started inthe year 2002.Astate of the art Biotech R&D facility was developed which wasalso certified by DSIR in the year 2009. Following are the key researchobjectives of Biotechnology division.
1) Molecular marker (protein & DNA) based quality assessment of cropvarieties and seeds.a. Gene Purity testing of GM traitsb. Genetic purity testing of Plant varieties
2) Molecular Marker Assisted Selection in Plant breeding for fast-trackingproduct (Variety or Hybrid) development process.
3) GM trait development including gene stacking and development of GMcrops in collaboration with public and private sector.
4) Development of insect bioassays for validating insect tolerance based GMtraits.
NSL has been working on insect tolerance GM traits with genes like VIP3a, Cry 1 Ec , Cry 1 C and Cry1Ac prior to GMcommercialization in 2002 in India. The same was also mentioned in their licensing agreement with trait developer in 2004. AlsoNSL is a part of a Public private partnership with Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and a private sectorconsortium for joint development of GM traits in India.
The Biotechnology Division of NSL's R&D has fostered collaborations with international and national institutions like InternationalCentre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), ICRISAT, NBRI, IIRR, CPMB, Osmania University etc. foraddressing various research challenges primarily in applied research relevant to Plant variety development and support to Plantbreeding work with an aim to reduce the cycle time for breeding and product development. The following are externally fundedprojects in progress or completed by the Department.
1. Bio-fortification of Maize with vitamin A and QP (Quality Protein) (DBT-BIRAC funded project)
2. Proposed private sector partnership for gene stacking and traitdevelopment in National Millennium and Technology Leadership Initiative(NMITLI) of Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
3. DBT funded project on drought tolerance in Maize using molecularmarkers in collaboration with ICGEB.
4. CPMB collaboration project on development of insect tolerance forsucking pests.
5. Private sector consortium projects on Seven Stack development for longlasting insect resistance
The Department is conducting independent projects in the following areas.
1. Development and validation of molecular markers for the commercialtraits in focus crops of NSL.
2. Anther and microspore culture and line development3. Tissue culture and genetic transformation of focus crops of NSL.4. Development of Bioinoculants and Biologicals based on Plant-microbe interaction for sustainable agriculture.5. Biotech support to Invivo Doubled Haploidy development in Maize for6. Biotech support to biofortification breeding projects in Rice (Zinc and iron) and Maize (High Lysine).
Since inception the Biotech division has become the pivot for cutting edge research at NSL and has also been providing support toall other organizational functions in conventional breeding, Sup[ply chain management (Grow-out test), quality assurance, etc.The following are the key achievements of Biotechnology R&D division at NSL.
1) Establishment of SOPs for quality assessment of NSLHybrids (Vegetables and Maize) using molecular markers.2) Reduction of breeding cycle times in Tomato by using Molecular markers for development of Virus and Wilt resistant tomato
hybrids3) Development and validation of molecular markers system for GMS (Genetic male sterility) in Cotton and its application in NSL
cotton breeding programmes. The GMS adoption will lead to significant reduction of breeding cycle time by 10% to 20% inCotton parental line development.
4) Development of doubled haploid lines in Chilli and Rice and their utilization in breeding for reduction of breeding cycle time by25%.
5) Identification of Cry 1 Ec and other genes as sources of resistance to Pink bollworm and development of gene stacks forproviding long lasting insect resistance in Cotton.

Successful Vegetable Hybrids
The preference for salad typed tomato is growing day by day in urban
and semi urban cities in India. Maharashtra, Gujrat and Karnataka are
the states pioneering the production of salad typed tomato. Keeping in
view with the challenges to grow this type tomato as per the traditional
sowing window followed for this type, Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd have
released Tomato-Rajesh. Tomato Rajesh have been crafted with lots
of experiment by the NSL-R&D for its perfection. Rajesh is equipped
with high heat tolerance, excellent shelf life, Tolerant to TolCV,
bacterial wilt. With its attractive red colored 90-100 g fruit with heavy
fruit bearing per plant produces more yield with desired quality.

Vector transmitted disease is becoming a serious challenge for Okra
cultivation in India. High heat with humidity leads to more disease
infestation in Okra leading to serious loss to crop health resulting in
poor yield and loss of expected revenue. Yes, there is solution with
Nuziveedu seeds ltd through its product Hybrid Okra Myna-24 having
dual tolerance for OELCV and YVMV. The Okra Myna-24 having a
strong vegetative growth can withstand the disease pressure and
does deliver superior yield as compared with the competitor. The
name Myna-24 have been started become popular among the
farmers in states like West Bengal, Orissa, AP & TL, Uttar Pradesh
and Bihar. The fresh green tender fruits give a fantastic impression on
crop along with its high level of hybrid vigor.

Watermelon Rambo is a premium innovation from Nuziveedu Seed
Ltd R&D. Inspired from the concept of preference of small watermelon
by the nuclear family Nuziveedu seeds have developed watermelon
Rambo in ice box segment with weight of 2.5 to 3.5 kg. Rambo is
superior in various aspects over its competitor in term of fruit
uniformity, sweetness (13-15% TSS) and rich pulp color. Moreover the
highest level of transportability of Rambo differentiates it from other
products in its segment. Rambo is launched by NSL in all the major
watermelon growing states of India like Tamilnadu, AP & TL,
