Tomato Hybrid Tomato

High, early and total yield, uniform fruiting, and resistance to adverse environmental conditions are some of the advantages of using F1 hybrid seeds. The main drawback is the high cost of production of these seeds. The use of male-sterile lines can decrease this cost. There are a number of combinations which give good yields. A combination of Pusa Ruby and Best of All is preferred as the F1. It not only yields 50 per cent more than Pusa Ruby but its fruit quality is also very attractive. Even the F2 generation of this combination gives a 15 to 20 per cent higher yield and the segregating lines are all marketable. The other combination recommended is Pusa 120 x Pusa Ruby. The F1 not only gives a high yield of attractive fruits but is also resistant to root-knot nematodes. Pusa Hybrid-2 has also performed well. Top

Recently example in fertilizers includes the development of Customized Fertilizer Grades (for NFCL across India that are crop and location specific have not only reduced the current consumption of fertilizers of farmers but have significantly enhanced crop yields and farmer incomes) that are expected to add significant revenues to the company.

Currently, agriculture value chain is driven by technical expertise. However, there is a lack of adequate Management knowledge and skills amongst the professionals. Therefore, Ikisan and XLRI, Jamshedpur have jointly developed an Agri Business Management Program for Agri-professionals and students. Ikisan provides the domain expertise while XLRI provides pedagogy. This program is a combination of virtual learning and campus based module at XLRI, Jamshedpur. This program has been highly appreciated.

Intellectual Property Rights for many software applications such as Field Manager, Vyapar, Mandi, Quick Solutions Systems, Management Time Table, Agri Information System and Agrecommerz belong to Ikisan. A significant recent development in this area is the introduction of Weather Based Crop Insurance. This entails setting up of Automatic Weather Stations, which provide dynamic village-level data essential for settlement of weather based insurance claims.
