Welcome

Welcome to the Home of Bumper Harvest. Seed Co. develops and markets certified crop seeds, mainly hybrid maize seeds, wheat, soybean, Vegetables, barley, sorghum, and groundnut seeds.

Most of our hybrid and non-hybrid cereal and oil crop seed varieties are proprietary, having been developed and bred at our research stations through market-oriented research and breeding programmes.

Tip of the Day

Seed Co varieties combine high yielding ability and good agronomic traits such as drought and disease tolerance, good “standability”, stability across seasons and regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you are looking for? We have shared some of our frequently asked questions to help you out.

There is no substitute to the right variety, and that’s why Seed Co always emphasizes on maturity series relative to intended area of production because the water resource is a highly dependent factor. Plant at the right time to optimise water use, provide right fertiliser at the right time and keep the crop weed free and healthy. Once the crop is healthy and well fed to help it achieve its required grain filling, you will get potential yields.

%before shuttering (grain dispersal). Shuttering can be a major cause of field loss. All Seed Co soybean varieties yield between 3 and 6 tonnes per hectare.

Commercial farmers use herbicides on Seed Co soybean varieties and have succeeded.

From our many registered agro dealers spread throughout the country. These have seed Seller’s Licences issued by Seed Control and Certification Institute.

For one to become an agent of Seed Co, the following are the pre-requisites:

  • A seed seller’s licence (obtained from Seed Control and Certification Institute-SCCI)
  • A trading licence
  • A tax clearance certificate from ZRA
  • Letter of recommendation from the bank stating account details
  • Possession of a well-ventilated storage facility
  • Sign a Seed Co stockists contract

It depends on the target yield and soil fertility status. Clay soils are thirsty while sandy soils are hungry. The basic recommended levels are 200 kg basal D/C plus 200kgs urea per hectare. Note that maize varieties respond positively to increased fertiliser and other crop management factors.

All our current maize varieties produce a single cob, so one kernel will produce one cob.

Insufficient fertiliser will give below potential grain yield.
