Early planting of long-duration wheat to increase yield potential and resilience
CSISA has conducted controlled-trial and on-farm diagnostic research to document the role of longer-duration wheat varieties coupled with timely planting on yield and resilience. These practices can increase yield potential by 50% and are 'no regrets' management options that consistently perform better than the alternatives, thereby boosting performance without compromising reliability.

The Team Behind the Innovation
The Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) is led by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and implemented by a team of scientists and change-makers with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). Operating across South Asia, CSISA works to increase the adoption of resource-conserving and climate-resilient technologies and improves farmers’ access to markets and enterprise development.
