SMARTER RICE FARMING WITH SMARTRICE®

Discover the difference this next generation resource efficient and high-yield seed can make in your farming operation.

SmartRice® Hybrid Seeds

Elevating Sustainable Rice Cultivation.
RiceTec SmartRice hybrids deliver exceptional genetic advantages for farmers, consumers, and the planet. 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, pushing the boundaries of sustainable rice cultivation.

Increased yield: SmartRice hybrids maximize land use, producing more rice per acre while conserving valuable resources like water and soil.
Resource efficiency: SmartRice hybrids require less land, irrigation water and labor compared to varieties.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions: SmartRice hybrids exhibit lower methane emissions, significantly reducing the greenhouse gas impact versus varieties.
Water reduction: SmartRice hybrids facilitate a shift to sustainable water management practices, enabling farmers to conserve this vital resource.
Reduced labor costs: SmartRice hybrids are designed for direct-seeded rice (DSR), minimizing labor requirements. This cost-saving feature is particularly beneficial for regions transitioning to DSR, addressing labor shortages and rising wages that make traditional rice farming economically challenging.
