Niger Seeds

Niger seeds are small, black oilseeds mainly cultivated for extracting edible oil. They are rich in healthy fats and are commonly used in bird feed due to their high-energy content. The crop grows well in well-drained soil and is harvested when its flowers dry, making it a low-maintenance and profitable seed variety.

Seeds produce small green shoots that develop into flowering plants. Growth is steady with moderate nutrient requirements.

5-7 days

Ready in 90-100 days. Harvested when flowers dry and turn dark brown. Seeds are extracted by threshing.

Seeds are sown at a depth of 1-2 cm in well-drained loamy soil with 20-30 cm row spacing. Requires minimal irrigation.

Kharif (June-July)
