Speed Breeding
Powered by the 7P control mechanism, reducing breeding time by up to 60%
Speed breeding is a cutting-edge technique that accelerates plant growth by optimizing environmental conditions, reducing breeding cycles for crops like wheat, rice, cotton and okra.
With over 6 years of expertise, Nexsel has pioneered speed breeding solutions, collaborating with leading plant breeders and seed companies. Our state-of-the-art in-house facility drives research breakthroughs, helping to advance crop breeding and secure a sustainable food future.

Following are the 6 Game Changing Advantages of 2X Speed Breeding
Reduced Breeding Cycles: It allows multiple generations of crops to be grown within a year, significantly speeding up the breeding process ,
Faster Crop Improvement – With more generations produced in a shorter time, desirable traits, such as disease resistance or improved yield, can be introduced and established much quicker
Increased Genetic Gain- By accelerating the breeding process, speed breeding enhances the rate at which genetic gains are achieved. Means better products quicker
Year-Round Breeding – Controlled environment conditions enable breeding to occur year-round, which is particularly useful in regions with unfavourable climates. Or allows you to start a project irrespective of season
Resource Efficiency- Speed breeding can optimize the use of resources like water, nutrients, and space, often as you require significantly less of these
Facilitates Research – It enables faster generation of data and testing of hypotheses in plant research, making it a valuable tool for geneticists and breeders
Over the past 6 years, we have conducted speed breeding trials on more than 12 different crops, yielding remarkable outcomes:
Wheat: Achieving 5 to 6 cycles per year
Cotton: Achieving 3 cycles per year
Mustard: Facilitating 3 cycles per year.
Okra: Achieving 5 cycles per year
Rice: 3 cycles per year
From our research we come to conclusion that we can reduce up to 60% cycle time by modifying environment parameters
In our quest for effective speed breeding solutions, we recognize the critical importance of the following 7 environmental parameters:
1. Temperature
2. Humidity
3. CO2 levels
4. Light spectrum
5. Light intensity
6. Lighting photoperiod
7. Airflow
By meticulously managing these parameters, we optimize plant growth and development, thereby accelerating the breeding process and achieving exceptional results

Speed Breeding in Polyhouse
Speed breeding in a polyhouse is a cost-effective solution for commercial breeding. It provides an efficient and scalable environment that enhances plant growth and accelerates breeding cycles. The controlled conditions of a polyhouse, combined with speed breeding techniques, optimize resource use and reduce operational costs while improving productivity.
Lighting Design:
- Assess current light intensity at the location
- Determine required intensity based on crop needs
- Perform ISPT Mapping for precise recommendations
Lighting Protocol:
- Define light spectrum
- Set light intensity
- Establish photoperiod requirements
Lighting Automation:
- Control photoperiod
- Manage spectrum adjustments
- Regulate PPFD to meet specific needs
ISPT Mapping is a proprietary technique developed by Nexsel to determine the optimal lighting conditions for speed breeding applications. Through this advanced process, we can precisely identify the necessary intensity lighting protocol tailored to your specific requirements. Based on the ISPT Mapping results, we provide comprehensive recommendations, including the number of lights, spectrum, photoperiod, and detailed spectral information appropriate for various plant growth stages.
