CROPS & AGRONOMY PROFILES
Detailed agronomic profiles of our primary cash crops, perennial fodder varieties, and cereal grains cultivated across our Gujarat farming estates.
Castor / Eranda
Castor (Eranda) is one of Gujarat's most commercially vital and resilient cash crops. Known for its high-grade industrial castor oil used globally in pharmaceuticals, lubricants, cosmetics, and aviation. Our farming incorporates high-yielding GCH hybrids, micro-irrigation, and biological disease prevention.
Super Napier Grass
Super Napier Grass (Pakchong-1 hybrid) is a powerhouse perennial forage crop developed for extreme biomass density and superior livestock nutrition. Boasting 16%–18% crude protein, tender non-itchy leaves, and low water consumption, it produces 6 to 8 cuttings annually. At Malek Agrotech's Anand hub, freshly harvested biomass is processed into high-density vacuum-sealed silage bales that supply dairy cooperatives across Gujarat year-round.
High-Yield Cotton
Cotton is 'White Gold' in Gujarat. Our managed farms focus on premium long-staple varieties grown with soil moisture sensors, pheromone trapping for bollworms, and scheduled potassium foliar sprays to maximize boll weight and ginning out-turn.
High-Curcumin Turmeric / Haldi
Turmeric (Haldi) is an ancient, highly lucrative medicinal spice undergoing an agricultural revolution through ICAR-IISR single-bud pro-tray seedling technology. By pre-sprouting treated mother and finger rhizomes in breathable mesh bags under 50-75% agro-shade nets and rooting single-eye buds in sterilized bio-fortified coco-peat trays, seed rhizome requirements drop from 1,200 kg/acre to just 180 kg/acre. Field transplantation onto raised beds with automated drip fertigation ensures 98% plant survival, zero rhizome rot, and bumper yields of 20-25 tonnes fresh rhizomes per acre with 4.5-5.5% curcumin content.
