The Season-Long Training of Trainers on Integrated Crop Management for Corn officially launched on Sunday, July 21, 2024, with a Participatory Technology Demonstration. This intensive program is designed to equip trainers with specialized knowledge and skills in advanced corn cultivation techniques, ensuring they can effectively support farmers in enhancing corn yields and sustainability.
Central to the training is the trainers' direct involvement in research activities covering critical areas of corn production. These include Balanced Fertilization, Nutrient Management, Population Density, and Varietal Trials. By conducting hands-on research, participants gain practical expertise, enabling them to relay refined methods and best practices to corn farmers across the region.
This approach not only empowers trainers to address specific agricultural challenges but also emphasizes the importance of evidence-based strategies. With the knowledge gained, trainers will contribute to sustainable agricultural development by fostering practices that boost productivity while conserving resources.
This comprehensive training highlights the commitment to improving the quality and resilience of corn farming, setting a strong foundation for a more sustainable and profitable agricultural sector.
