TADICO Advances Sustainable Agriculture, Achieving a Record Yield of 56 Tons of Forage per Hectare Through Smart Cropping
TADICO Holding has achieved a significant milestone in knowledge-based agriculture and water resource management, recording a yield of 56 tons of forage per hectare in just 75 days through a successful research project at Fka Livestock and Farming Company, a TADICO subsidiary. This achievement highlights the potential for maximizing agricultural productivity through innovative technologies and more efficient farming practices.
According to TADICO:
As part of its ongoing efforts to advance modern agriculture and address water scarcity challenges, TADICO Holding has implemented a dedicated research project at Fka Livestock and Farming Company in collaboration with the Isfahan Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center.
The research project was designed to evaluate the production potential of forage crops with low water requirements. Two varieties of forage amaranth, named “Kharkov” and “Sim,” were cultivated in Feka’s fields. Field evaluation results showed that approximately 23 tons of high-quality forage were harvested from an area of around 0.4 hectares over a growing period of 70 to 75 days, equivalent to an impressive yield of 56 tons per hectare.
The achievement is particularly significant given the crop’s short growing cycle, relative drought tolerance, and lower water requirements. These characteristics make forage amaranth a promising strategic alternative to conventional crops in regions facing limited water resources.
This research project forms part of TADICO Holding’s broader development strategy to improve productivity across the agricultural and livestock value chain, reduce production costs, and support the sustainable management of the country’s natural resources.
