Agri-Innovations in Practice: Challenges and Solutions for Future Harvests Discussed in Kara-Suu

On June 13, 2025, a Field Day was held in Kalinina village, Kara-Suu district, organized by the Kara-Suu branch of KGFRAS, the TES Center, and the State Seed Unit (GSU). The event provided an excellent opportunity for farmers, representatives of agricultural cooperatives, and local authorities to see modern approaches to growing cereals under changing climate conditions.

The focus was on new wheat varieties adapted to the southern regions of the country. Participants visited demonstration plots where seeds were grown using No-Till technology. A special highlight was a 7-hectare plot where the GSU is producing 40 tons of seed to distribute to 40 farmers—each receiving one ton to sow on a total area of 200 hectares.

Farmers were impressed by the field conditions: no weeds or varietal mixing, and the potential of the new varieties. Many asked practical questions, shared their experiences, and discussed how to apply what they saw on their own land. Local administration representatives, GSU specialists from neighboring regions, KfW experts, and agricultural consultants also attended.

The positive results of No-Till adoption were highlighted: while last year this technology was applied on 146 hectares, this year it covers over 200 hectares. Local media, including KTRK Osh TV, covered the event to promote resource-saving technologies.

Participants expressed readiness to continue cooperation with the organizers and praised the high level of event organization. The Field Day was not only a demonstration of technology but also a platform for knowledge exchange and partnership strengthening. Many suggested holding such meetings more often, especially during the growing season, to see everything live and gain practical benefits.
