Global Maize Project in Brazil: Ponta Grossa, Paraná

Higher intensification of cropping systems will be necessary to attend future demands of corn production. The ecological intensification seeks for production systems of cereals that satisfy these future demands while at the same time establish cultivation with minimum interference to the environment. With this in mind a global maize project was established worldwide to identify gaps in yield between current farmer technologies and desired prescribed technologies for ecological intensification of corn production. This experiment will be located in Rondonopolis, MT, Brazil, being one of the two experiments in this country.
