BSS, Rangpur :
Adoption of the conservation agriculture (CA)-based technologies has started increasing crop production at reduced costs bringing more profits to the farmers along with ensuring food security amid changing climate.
“Adoption of CA-based technologies also improves environment, ecology, bio-diversity, soil health and fertility making farm activities more profitable,” said former Chief Scientific
Officer of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute Dr MA Mazid. Expanded adoption of CA-based technologies at farmers’ level already became imperative to increase crop production at reduced costs saving water, facilitating crop intensification and remunerative markets for produce, he added.
Talking to BSS, Extension Agronomist Anarul Haque at Dinajpur Hub of International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center narrated enormous benefits and brighter prospect of CA-based technologies to increase crop production at reduced costs.
He stressed on quicker dissemination and popularisation of CA-based technologies among farmers with providing subsidies for easier procurement of necessary machineries, inputs, spares and other materials to facilitate the process.
