Every variety begins as a single, virus-indexed mother plant selected for genetic purity. Under sterile lab conditions, a tiny explant multiplies into thousands of genetically identical, pathogen-free plantlets — the most rigorous starting point in seed potato science.

Advantages
  • Complete elimination of systemic viruses, bacteria and fungi
  • Genetic uniformity across every plantlet in the batch
  • Year-round production independent of season
  • Full traceability to a single certified mother plant
  • CPRI Shimla-accredited protocols at every step

02 — A   Coco Peat

Coco Peat

Plantlets are transplanted into coconut fibre substrate inside climate-controlled greenhouses. The natural medium provides exceptional aeration, moisture retention, and a pathogen-free root zone — a gentle bridge from sterile lab to field-scale production.

Advantages
  • Pathogen-free, sustainable substrate
  • Superior water retention and aeration
  • Stress-free transition from tissue culture
  • Higher plantlet survival rates
Aeroponic mini-tubers
02 — B   Aeroponics

Aeroponics

Plantlets are suspended in soilless aeroponic chambers developed with CPRI Shimla. Roots hang freely and receive a continuous fine mist of nutrient solution — accelerating mini-tuber formation at a rate impossible in conventional soil systems, with zero soil-borne disease risk.

Advantages
  • 5–10× more mini-tubers per plant
  • Zero soil contact — no soil-borne disease
  • Precise real-time nutrient delivery
  • Up to 5 million mini-tubers annually
G-0 mini-tubers G-0 mini-tubers G-0 mini-tuber varieties Stage 3 field

Both production pathways converge at the same output — small, dense, disease-free G-0 mini-tubers. Each carries the full genetic profile of its parent variety, produced under conditions that guarantee zero viral, bacterial, or fungal contamination. These are the foundation of our entire seed multiplication chain.

Advantages
  • Certified pathogen-free with lot-level traceability
  • High vigour and uniform dormancy across the batch
  • Suitable for direct multiplication or cold storage
  • Fewer field generations needed before commercial planting
  • Available across all 29 varieties in our catalog

Seed potato field Seed potato field Seed potato field

G-0 mini-tubers are multiplied through a tightly controlled number of field generations to produce certified planting material at commercial scale. By starting from a disease-free G-0 foundation, we compress the conventional chain — delivering seed that performs consistently from the first planting, season after season.

Advantages
  • Fewer field generations means higher quality at commercial scale
  • Lower degeneration risk than uncertified local seed
  • Consistent yield and uniformity season after season
  • Supplied across 10+ states throughout India
  • Backed by 20+ years of field performance data
