Maize/Corn is the third-largest cereal crop in India after rice and wheat. Despite its importance for several uses, current production and productivity levels are below global standards. Thus, choosing the right seeds is of the utmost importance for Indian farmers, as it affects their profits and crop quality.
To bridge this gap, advanced production technologies such as high yielding hybrids are required. Bayer’s DEKALB®, through its global germplasm expertise in hybrid corn seeds, has been a reliable partner for Indian farmers for 25 years. DEKALB® provides a variety of hybrids for selection to meet the needs of local customers, with a continued focus on helping farmers harvest more.
