The DSRC, led by IRRI, is proud to welcome Agrobiomics as a Gold Member.

Agrobiomics brings innovative biomolecules that strengthen plants against drought and salinity. Through collaboration w/ DSRC partners, these sustainable solutions can be scaled.

In 🇮🇳, a gap remains between farmers' current rice yields & what they could produce. Using big data, a recent study revealed strategies to narrow these gaps, pinpointing two critical factors: nitrogen (N) fertilizer use & irrigation practices.

We are promoting (mechanized) Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) technology for its water use efficiency, time/cost savings, drudgery reduction, and it having no yield penalty compared to the transplanting method. There’s positive response and acceptance by farmers in various parts of the State.

Herbicide tolerant Basmati rice varieties Pusa Basmati 1979 and Pusa Basmati 1985. These varieties will promote direct seeded rice (DSR) resulting in water and labour saving and reduced green house gas emission.

Seeing is believing!
Visited Cluster Demonstrations and Adaptive Trials on Direct Seeded Rice and other Agronomic Practices, in Delang & Pipili Blocks. I thank @irri Scientists, @krushibibhag colleagues & the affable farmers for making the #WorldFoodDay2022 most memorable for me.
