Demonstrating Resource-Efficient Farming Practices

System of Rice Intensification Paddy and Maize Demonstration Plots 

Demonstration plots under the Corteva-supported initiative are helping farmers observe resource-efficient cultivation practices under field conditions. 

A System of Rice Intensification (SRI) paddy demonstration is showcasing practices designed to reduce seed and water requirements while supporting root development, tillering and efficient input use. 

A maize demonstration using Bed Plantation, Mulching and Drip Irrigation is demonstrating an integrated approach to moisture conservation and water management. 

Together, these demonstrations provide farmers with practical reference points for understanding how improved agronomic practices can support productivity while making more efficient use of natural resources.
