System of wheat intensification An innovative approach

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: System of wheat intensification (SWI) is an innovative wheat establishment technique involving components of wheat cultivation practices such as sowing, weeding, irrigation, and nutrient management. These management practices provide better condition for growth of wheat crop in the root zone than those plants grown under conventional wheat cultivation practices. SWI is a new opportunity for raising wheat production that can directly increase farmers' income and reduce food insecurity for small and marginal farmers. It may enable the crop to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses which are becoming more severe with climate change in present context. The adoption of SWI can increase productivity and profit of the resource poor farmers by saving agro inputs.
