Crys­tal Crop Pro­tec­tion launches fod­der seed products for kharif 2026

Crys­tal Crop Pro­tec­tion Ltd, an integ­rated agri­input com­pany, will offer a com­pre­hens­ive range of fod­der seed products to serve diverse agro­cli­matic needs in kharif 2026. These include ‘SX17’, ‘SX17 Super’, ‘SX21’ and ‘Star’.
A state­ment said ‘SX17’ is a high­yield­ing sorghum­Sudan hybrid with robust stem, medium matur­ity and good re­growth, while ‘SX17 Super’ is an enhanced ver­sion of ‘SX17’ with improved drought tol­er­ance and higher bio­mass per cut.
As per the state­ment, ‘SX21’ is a late­matur­ing high­bio­mass vari­ety ideal for single­cut large volume har­vests, and ‘Star’ is an early­matur­ing dual­pur­pose sorghum, used as both green fod­der and grain fod­der.
Crys­tal Crop’s ‘2026 Fod­der Ini­ti­at­ive’ is anchored across Hary­ana, Pun­jab, west­ern Uttar Pra­desh and Rajasthan. These regions are dom­in­ated by the cul­tiv­a­tion of crops such as sorghum ( jowar), maize, bajra, beseem and lucerne.
PURPOSE-ENGINEERED
The com­pany’s single­cut green fod­der hybrid — ‘Dairy Green’ — has been pur­poseen­gin­eered to address the nutri­tional require­ments of high­yield­ing dairy cattle.
Developed through advanced plant breed­ing, ‘Dairy Green’ deliv­ers con­sist­ently high bio­mass yield, super­ior crude pro­tein con­tent and excel­lent palat­ab­il­ity, mak­ing it the pre­ferred choice for dairy farm­ers, it said.
Saty­ender Singh, Chief Exec­ut­ive Officer (Seeds), Crys­tal Crop Pro­tec­tion, said India’s live­stock sec­tor is at an inflec­tion point. The chal­lenge is no longer just about milk pro­ductiv­ity. It begins at the farm gate with the qual­ity and avail­ab­il­ity of green fod­der.
“At Crys­tal, we have inves­ted over a dec­ade in devel­op­ing seed solu­tions that dir­ectly address this gap. ‘Dairy Green’ rep­res­ents our finest effort, a seed that con­sist­ently deliv­ers more nutri­tion per acre, enabling dairy farm­ers to achieve higher milk yields while redu­cing their feed cost bur­den. Our expan­ded port­fo­lio for kharif 2026 ensures that India’s farm­ers have the right tools for every con­di­tion,”
