At Plantseeds, research and development form the cornerstone of our commitment to advancing modern agriculture. Our R&D efforts focus on identifying and enhancing the adaptability of fruit and vegetable seeds across varying climates and geographies. We combine international expertise with localized trials to develop high-performing seed varieties that deliver consistent yields and meet the evolving needs of farmers.
Our work spans across seed multiplication, hybrid seed production, seed development, coating, encrusting, and seedling grafting. Through rigorous testing, field experiments, and continuous innovation, we ensure that every seed offers superior quality, performance, and resilience. In line with the Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) initiative in Sri Lanka, we have introduced advanced seed treatment practices that involve coating paddy seeds with nutrients, fungicides, and growth promoters to enhance germination and seedling vigor.
We uphold stringent quality standards by importing seeds that comply with the International Seed Testing Authority (ISTA) guidelines. Each variety undergoes thorough screening to ensure authenticity, health, and optimum performance before it reaches the farmer. Our dedication to quality ensures that cultivators receive reliable planting material, enabling better crop outcomes and contributing to the growth of sustainable agriculture in Sri Lanka.
Our research focuses on developing seed varieties that meet or exceed the performance of existing market options. Through continuous innovation and rigorous testing, we aim to offer farmers high-quality, dependable seeds that deliver superior yields and meet the evolving demands of modern agriculture.
Located at the Nikaweratiya DIMO Techno Park, our R&D facilities include a Seed Paddy Processing Unit, Coconut Estate, and a Hybrid Chili Multiplication Unit. These centers enable us to develop and refine innovative agricultural solutions, ensuring the highest product standards while promoting sustainable farming practices.
