Efficient Irrigation Practices to Complement High-Performance Seeds

Introduction

Introduction

This guide is designed to help Mexican farmers plan and implement efficient irrigation practices that complement the use of Syngenta’s high-yield seeds. Adopting proper irrigation techniques is essential to maximize yields, ensure crop quality, and promote sustainability in water resource use.

Assessment of the Crop’s Water Needs

The first step is to assess the specific water requirements of the seed variety to be planted, considering the plant’s development cycle and local climate conditions. This allows for the creation of a tailored irrigation schedule that ensures plants receive the right amount of water at each stage.

Selection and Installation of Modern Irrigation Systems

It is recommended to use efficient irrigation systems such as drip or sprinkler irrigation, which allow for rational and controlled water use, minimizing losses from evaporation or runoff. Implementing these systems helps improve productivity and reduce operational costs.

Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment of Irrigation

It is essential to regularly measure soil moisture using sensors or traditional methods to adjust irrigation according to the actual needs of the crop. This prevents water stress and over-irrigation, protecting both the plants and the soil.

Integration of Syngenta Biostimulants

The use of biostimulants developed by Syngenta strengthens the plants’ ability to withstand stress caused by water deficiencies, improving their development and productivity under variable irrigation conditions.

Scheduling Irrigation at Optimal Times

It is recommended to irrigate during times of lower evaporation, such as early in the morning or late in the afternoon, to maximize absorption and efficiency of the supplied water.

Soil Management and Crop Rotation

Planning crop rotation and applying practices to improve soil structure and water retention contribute to better use of irrigation water and the overall health of agricultural land.

Specialized Technical Support from Syngenta

Syngenta offers personalized technical support to adapt irrigation management to the specific conditions of each plot, optimizing resources and maximizing the potential of high-yield seeds.

Conclusion

The implementation of efficient irrigation practices, combined with the use of Syngenta’s high-yield seeds and biostimulants, enables Mexican farmers to increase productivity, improve crop quality, and promote responsible and sustainable water use, in line with Syngenta’s values of innovation and environmental commitment.
