Bayer Crop Science Delegation Reviews Rice Research at ISARC
A group from Bayer Crop Science went to the International Rice Research Institute - South Asia Regional Centre (ISARC).
They talked about how to make rice farming better.
They looked at ways to grow rice directly in the field, instead of transplanting it.
They also discussed using special hybrid rice, which are like a mix of different types of rice.
They also talked about using the special rice varieties developed by IRRI that are good for direct seeding.
This helps them work together to improve how rice is grown.
A delegation from Bayer Crop Science visited ISARC.
The visit aimed to review ongoing collaborations in rice research.
Discussions focused on direct-seeded rice (DSR).
Hybrid rice was also a topic of discussion.
The deployment of IRRI's DSR-fit rice varieties was considered.
