Iranian Firm Produces Hybrid Seed to Help Sustainable Agriculture

The company, which enjoys a team of experts in the fields of plant genetics, biotechnology, and plant diseases, has been able to produce seeds with high yield, desirable quality, resistance to diseases and pests, and adaptability to Iran's climatic conditions. The company's activities in improving and improving the seed breed of summer crops are an important step towards developing sustainable agriculture and increasing productivity in this field.
“Given the increasing demand for seeds in Iran, our company has adopted various measures over the years, including research projects to identify new and improved varieties, using advanced breeding techniques like double haploid, controlling seed quality, and recognizing market needs,” said Maryam Golabadi, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.
“To improve seed quality, quality control tests are continuously conducted before being released to the market, and research on diverse seed coatings and sterilization is also being pursued. These measures are aimed at producing seeds with higher germination and free from any contamination,” she added.
In a relevant development in January, the president of Islamic Azad University’s Alborz branch announced the construction of a 10-hectare fully smart greenhouse to produce hybrid vegetable seeds.
“For the sustainable, comprehensive and continuous development of its knowledge-based, technological and innovative activities in full compliance with Iran’s policies, our university is implementing various plans, including the construction of a 10-hectare fully intelligent greenhouse relying on hybrid seed production in the field of vegetables and greens in the Mahdasht farm by the end of the university's fiscal year with the participation of agricultural and material innovation centers based on completely indigenous knowledge and technology of university faculty members and the creation of five new innovation centers in accordance with the province's comparative advantages with the help of artificial intelligence,” Hossein Kalantari told ANA.
“Biotechnology-related projects for the development of medical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical products, projects related to information technology and artificial intelligence and participation in the creation of intelligent systems and applied software and artificial intelligence, creating a computer game production hub, environmental projects, renewable energy, precious metal extraction, making a creative house for cultural and artistic industries in the Karaj branch, and designing and implementing creative urban elements, luxurious architecture, and recreating urban spaces are among the various other projects underway at this university,” he added.
