No-till Farming
Soil conservation technique, reduces erosion, maintain soil organic matter, use of cover crops recommended.
Greenhouse Technology
Controlled environment agriculture, year-round cultivation, monitor temperature and humidity closely.
Cover Crops
Prevents soil erosion, enhances soil fertility, suppresses weeds, sow during fallow period.
Permaculture
Sustainable farming system, mimics natural ecosystems, plant with diversity and synergistic relationships in mind.
GMO Soybeans
Genetically modified for herbicide tolerance, increased shelf life, plant in warm soil and ensure rotation to prevent soil depletion.
Organic Seeds
Non-GMO, pesticide-free farming, rich in biodiversity, follow organic certification guidelines for cultivation.
Vertical Farming
Grow crops in stacked layers, space-efficient, controlled environment farming, requires hydroponics or aeroponics systems.
Dwarf Fruit Trees
Small stature, easier to harvest, suitable for small spaces, regular pruning required to maintain health and productivity.
Biofortification
Enhancement of nutrient content, can be done through conventional breeding or genetic modification, focus on crops like wheat and rice.
Seed Priming
Pre-sowing seed treatment, improves germination, plant when environmental conditions are optimal for growth.
Seed Coating
Seeds treated with nutrients or pesticides, better establishment and protection, store seeds in a cool and dry place.
Aquaponics
Integrated fish and plant farming, water efficiency, symbiotic relationship, suitable for urban areas with space constraints.
Bt Cotton
Bio-engineered, resistant to bollworm, reduced pesticide use, grow in well-draining soil with ample sunlight.
Hybrid Corn Seeds
Result from crossbreeding, increased yields, resistant to specific pests, plant in full sun and ensure soil is well-drained.
CRISPR-Cas9 Modified Rice
Precision gene editing, drought tolerance, plant in flooded conditions to prevent competition from weeds.
Heirloom Tomato Seeds
Non-hybrid, open-pollinated, unique flavors, best cultivated in warm soil with plenty of organic matter.
Precision Agriculture
Technology-based farming, data-driven decisions, effective resource use, use GPS and sensor data to optimize field-level management.
Aquaculture
Farming of aquatic organisms like fish and shellfish, focus on water quality, diversified farming system.
