In order to propose to producers of basic seasonal grains, mainly corn and beans, the possibility of improving their cultivation and having crops with more quality and quantity, is that experiments have been carried out in plots of different areas of the state, making use of technological packages and better seeds that can give performance with rainwater.

In these tours, producers and representatives of commercial seed houses have been invited to participate, and so far it seems that good results will be achieved, as this will surely be due to the good weather that has been enjoyed in 2021, the good management that It has been given to the cultivation according to the recommendations of the investigators of the experimental field.
He commented that a team has been made with the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research and the seed houses, and derived from the evaluations that have been made, it has been possible to support more and more producers of rainfed grains.
To date, he reported, 6,909 producers have had the impulse of the Support Program for the Acquisition of Seed of Maize and Beans of Temporal for the benefit of 34,000 hectares and reiterated that they will continue working for small producers that They produce in this agricultural modality.
It is worth mentioning that Sedrae, with the support of INIFAP, works every year to offer producers the best seed hybrids, in order to increase the yields of both corn and beans, and improve the harvests in each plot and therefore, income for producers, who know that this will be possible by having an adequate management of the crop, from soil preparation, seed selection, sowing method, fertilization, work in the crop, the water that is essential and the control of pests.
