Rice Cultivation in India is Facing Challenges

FullPage ® Rice Cropping Solution is an integration of SmartRice ® genetics, SQUAD™ new generation seed treatment and a herbicide tolerance trait. FullPage ® technology offers broad-spectrum effective weed control (grasses, sedges and broad leaves), SQUAD™ treatment provides protection against initial biotic stresses & improve mechanized sowing efficiency with better flowability of seed. SmartRice ® genetics is suitable for higher plant population in DSR. Effective weed management, optimum plant population and crop safety leads to higher productivity.

Profitability – Higher productivity and cost reduction

Convenience – Reduce labor dependency

Sustainability – GHG reduction, Less water and fuel consumption
