Abstract: Grower-Innovator (MP-I) method is disclosed for improving the productive potential of rainfed maize.
This investigation interviewed producers Cohetzala and San Nicolas de los Ranchos (SNR) Puebla, Mexico to
calculate household food security, the rate of radical appropriation of technology, the degree of use of
progressive technologies and to design the MP-I. The 82 and 40% of producers and SNR Cohetzala not have
SAF, all apply radical and progressive innovations to handle corn, no relationship between the use of radical
innovations and returns, but with progressive; 29% of producers are successful in Cohetzala and 30% in SNR.
If transferring technological standard for producers of low and average 91-24% performance increase and these
157-38% for Cohetzala and SNR, respectively.
