Speed breeding is changing the way we grow and improve crops. It helps plants grow faster by using extended light hours (photoperiod) and controlled temperature, meaning we can grow 3 to 6 generations in a single year, instead of just one or two.

What started with wheat is now being used in many other crops too. This is a huge opportunity for seed companies to accelerate breeding, seed multiplication, and product delivery timelines. A great news for seed companies, because it means they can save time, space, cost, and bring products to market faster.

Crops Have Been Speed Bred Successfully

Speed breeding has been successfully done in many crops. The technology works. The results are proven.

Here’s a list of crops where it’s already working:

Speed breeding is already happening in many crops, across India and the world. If your breeding program still follows traditional timelines, now is the time to rethink and switch to faster, smarter methods.

And if your target crop isn’t on this list yet, don’t worry. Speed Breeding can be applied and optimized. Plant Breeders can start trials, adjust protocols, and build speed breeding system tailored to the crop of interest.

Whether you are working on vegetables, pulses, cereals, or oilseed, there’s a speed breeding method to accelerate breeding pipeline, and increase seed production. The School of Speed Breeding offers complete guidance, facility setup, training, customized crop protocols, and detail project reports.

If your crop is on the list; adopt it.
If it’s not; explore and adapt it.

Don’t wait. Start work on your crop today.
