Hisar Swarup (HF-33) in detail
A spreading, semi-tall fennel developed in Haryana for dryland farming, valued for its large seed size and resistance to lodging and seed shattering.
Origin & story
Hisar Swarup (HF-33) was developed and released by the Department of Seed Science and Technology at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Its exact year of release is not documented in the records available to us.
How it grows
This variety reaches about 132 cm tall with a spreading, open habit, distinct from the more compact types. It was selected for Haryana's semi-arid and rainfed conditions, matures late, and resists both lodging and seed shattering, making it suited to seed production under rainfed cultivation on marginal land where moisture is limited.
Quality & character

The bold seeds and reasonable oil content suit buyers seeking material for the spice trade, and its resistance to lodging—a real concern in weather-prone areas—helps reduce harvest losses.
