Dear Sir,

We are sending seed of parents of nine hybrids for the hybrid seed production. We have doubled the seed
rate of one female line ICMB 94555 because of low germination. Seed production of two hybrids GHB
905 and GHB 719 can be taken in one village as they have common R-line. Similarly, HHB 223 and
HHB 226 have common R-line and can be produced in the same village. Other hybrids need isolation
distance.
Details for the hybrid seed production are provided below.
