Study confirms direct seeding boosts wheat profits

The annual report of the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) revealed that the no-till planting system (without plowing) delivers tangible economic and technical benefits to Moroccan agriculture. It has led to a 46% increase in the profitability of soft wheat and improved the net economic value by 42% for wheat and 58% for lentils, with annual profits growing between 16% and 19%. Additionally, the institute announced the successful registration of a new variety of soft wheat named "Yaqout," after selecting from over 1,500 strains and evaluating 315 promising genetic lines. This effort aims to enhance national food security and counteract climate change. The report justifies adopting this system as a strategic choice to ensure food sovereignty and increase the added value of the grains and legumes sector, affirming its effectiveness despite climate variability and inflation.
