How to Identify Good Quality Onion Seeds - A Farmer's Guide

Introduction:

Choosing the right onion seed is the first and most important step for a successful harvest. Poor seed quality leads to low germination, weak plants, and ultimately, reduced income. At Aadidisha Seeds, we believe in empowering farmers with knowledge. Here is how you can identify good-quality onion seeds on your own.

1. Look at the Seed Size and Color

Good quality seeds are uniform in size, round, and have a dark brown to black color. If the seeds look too small, broken, or discolored, avoid them.

2. Check the Seed Purity

Your seed packet should not have too much dust, husk, or broken seeds. Pure seeds give uniform growth and make management easier.

3. Ask for the Germination Rate

A certified seed company like Aadidisha will always mention the germination rate on the packet. Look for a rate above 70-80%. Low germination means you'll need to sow more, wasting money and time.

4. Know the Variety and Suitability

Different varieties like Bhima Shakti, Baswant 780, or Phule Samarth suit different soils and climates. Choose based on your region, season, and market demand.

5. Check for Certification and Lot Number

Always buy seeds that have a valid certification tag, lot number, and packaging date. This ensures that the seeds are tested, recent, and legally approved.

6. Smell Test (Traditional Trick)

Farmers often use this trick - fresh seeds have a mild, natural smell. If they smell musty or sour, moisture may have damaged them.

Conclusion:

Don't leave your crop's fate to luck. Choose seeds carefully -  your entire season depends on this small step. Aadidisha Seeds ensures high-quality, certified seeds backed by science and trust.
