East-West Seed India launched YieldPro 169, a semi-bushy, high-vigor hybrid pumpkin, at a Mega Field Day organized at Bastihalli, Pandavapur Taluk, Mandya District. Over 200 local farmers, dealers, seed sellers, nursery owners, and a wide range of agricultural professionals attended the launch. With its unique features, YieldPro 169 promises to revolutionize pumpkin farming by offering a higher yield per acre due to increased plant population, excellent virus tolerance, early harvesting of existing varieties, and adaptability to various climates and soils.
East-West Seed India’s Country General Manager, G C Shivakumar, said, “Innovation stands at the heart of East-West Seed’s commitment to bolstering both living standards and food security. Our latest hybrid creations embody our pledge to supply top-tier, regionally tailored vegetable seeds. Serving more than 1.5 million smallholder farmers across India, our resolve are steadfast to persist in our efforts, promoting sustainable farming methods and improved nutritional outcomes.”
Anand Patil, the National Sales Director at East-West Seeds India, highlighted the advantages of Yield Pro 169 for farmers. He pointed out that many farmers have been moving away from pumpkin cultivation due to increased disease susceptibility, rising cultivation costs, and, subsequently, lower returns on investment. Yield Pro 169 addresses these concerns by offering a solution that increases yield and enhances profitability with the need for less land.
