India shows an overall increase to farm cash flows of 36 per cent using SMART Seeder MINI-MAX™ comprised of 19 per cent reduction in cost per acre.
Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. is pleased to announce the results of our input reduction and yield results from this seasons’ harvest at our proving grounds in India in collaboration with our partners, Northern Mega Farmers FPO and University of Chandigarh.
The results from utilising the SMART Seeder MINI-MAX™ in a side-by-side comparison to the most current and most utilised seeding equipment available in India shows an overall increase to farm cash flows of 36 per cent using SMART Seeder MINI-MAX™ comprised of 19 per cent reduction in cost per acre; 26 per cent increase in per acre crop yield; 67 per cent reduction of chemical fertilizer use, and 67 per cent reduction of diesel consumption.
The results and related harvest are receiving significant attention from the farming community, our partners and regional news. We believe this positive outcome will accelerate interest in India to adopt MINI-MAX™ technology throughout its regions, which can then positively impact adoption in additional countries thereafter.
Graeme Lempriere, Chairman & CEO said “Our mandate with MINI-MAX™ in India was to demonstrate the scalability of our technology portfolio, from our North American SMART Seeder MAX™ Series 60, into a compact design for additional international markets. We are proud to have confirmed with our partners in India that MINI-MAX™ produced benefits consistent with those of the SMART Seeder MAX™ here in North America as we move closer to a definitive agreement to mass produce the MINI-MAX™ for the Indian market and other international opportunities.”
Clean Seed’s SMART Seeder MAX™ technologies are revolutionary seeding tools that utilise the unique synergy of sophisticated electronic metering and intuitive software control putting row-by-row variable rate technology at the forefront of agricultural innovation.
