Home | Wheat Seeds
Wheat Seeds are small, hard grains from which wheat plants grow. These seeds are oval shaped and are usually in brown or golden colors. A good quality wheat seed is clean, healthy, disease-free, and has high germination capacity. Prior to sowing, wheat seeds are often treated with fungicide or pesticides to protect them from soil-related diseases and insects. Farmers usually sow seeds in rows using seed practice during the rabi season. Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops grown around the world. Wheat is a rich source of carbohydrates and also provides some proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
