Reimagine agriculture

Transforming India's Agriculture

Reducing Labor

Savannah leads the way in creating the ability to substantially reduce or eliminate the back-breaking labor associated with rice farming worldwide.

Saving Water

RiceTec hybrids are more robust and exhibit abiotic stress tolerance, enabling a shift to more sustainable water management practices such as Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), and row rice. These practices reduce water usage and enhance sustainability while maintaining productivity.

Controlling Weeds

Getting ahead of the weeds in the field through innovative and broad-spectrum herbicide seed and cropping solutions.

Lowering Emissions

Traditional rice farming contributes about 20% of global agricultural methane emissions. RiceTec hybrids offer a solution by emitting less methane compared to varieties, thereby reducing emissions. By planting RiceTec hybrids and adopting sustainable water management practices, farmers can further lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Friendly Rice Cropping Solutions

Overcoming Challenges. One Solution.

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.

SmartRice

SmartRice hybrids are resource-efficient seeds that offer higher yields and are genetically suited for direct seeded rice (DSR). They also provide enhanced stress and disease tolerance, resistance to lodging, and improved milling percentages, enabling sustainable rice cultivation.

SQUAD seed treatment

SQUAD seed treatment improves germination, pest and disease protection, and overall early growth performance.

Effective herbicide solution

ADAMA’s herbicides, designed for the FullPage rice cropping solution, effectively control common rice weeds. Supported by sales and technical experts, this system ensures optimal weed control and resistance prevention.

Increased energy cost

Weed control—

Ineffective control
No single solution for broad spectrum weed control

Excess GHG emission—

India is third largest GHG emitter
Rice accounts for 20% of GHG emissions
