Date palm can be propagated sexually by seeds or asexually by offshoots. When grown from seeds, only 50% chance of having female, while from the offshoot, the progeny palms will be identical to its parent, but survival rate in the field is very low (<35%). So tissue culture is the method of choice to produce genetically stable planting material in large quantity
Best Quality Planting material :
A team of senior scientists from Date palm Research Station, Mundra (GAU) , officials from a local leading NGO Shree Vivekanand Research and Training Institute(VRTI), Local Progressive farmers and an Isreali Scientist did a herculean task of identifying elite date palm based on more then 25 parameters. They screened 220 such trees out of 1.5 million plans which could be multiplied.
Healthy and disease free Plants :
Ensuring our plants disease free by Virus indexing through DBT (Department of Biotechnology –Government of India).
True to type quality material :
100% Guarantee of our plants being the exact genetic duplicate of the original mother plant by DNA fingerprint through DBT (Department of Biotechnology – Government of India)
Quantitave and Qualitative fruiting :
Tissue culture plants grow rapidly with negligible losses and give larger quantity of fruits compared to traditionally propagated plants.
Season free planting material :
Tissue culture technology enable us to supply valuable tissue culture plants in large quantities at a specified, planned date throughout the year.
