SHRIRAM AGRO EXCLUSIVE
Premium Hybrid Thar Sobh Khejari (Prosopis cineraria)
Superior Selected Drought-Hardy Clone
Why is our Thar Sobh Khejari the absolute best choice? Traditional Khejri trees from unmanaged wild seeds take decades to establish and feature sluggish growth. Shriram Agro's elite selected Thar Sobh Khejari clones are propagated from superior mother trees, offering accelerated establishment, unmatched survival in arid wastelands, and enhanced nitrogen-fixing capabilities.
Revered as the "Tree of Life" or "Kalpavriksha" of the Thar Desert, Khejri provides protein-rich tender pods ("Sangri") sold at premium market rates for traditional Rajasthani cuisine, highly nutritious livestock fodder ("Loong"), and exceptional soil fertility restoration for intercropped fields.
