| description | In northern Bangladesh, the widespread adoption of mechanized Direct-Seeded Rice (DSR) remains slow due to limited access to suitable seeding machines and lack of skilled operators. These constraints prevent farmers from fully benefiting from climate-smart technologies, especially as they face the increasing challenges from labor shortages, rising input costs, and unpredictable rainfall patterns driven by climate change.
In response, the CGIAR Sustainable Farming Science Program (SFP), in collaboration with the Farm Machinery Division of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), organized a hands-on training on precision sowing through mechanized Direct-Seeded Rice (DSR). The training aims to equip the rural youth and service providers with the necessary skills to implement this technology using two-wheel power tiller-operated seeder (PTOS) machines to adopt a DSR system. |
