To meet future food needs, it is very important to increase productivity while reducing factors used for production such as land and water. One potentially promising technology for yield enhancement is the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar in the mid-1980s. It was developed unconventionally and is now recognized and implemented in over […]
The System of Rice Intensification, known as SRI, is an innovation in rice production systems by raising productivity of the land, labor, water and capital. SRI is a set of modified practices for managing rice plants and the soil, water and nutrients. SRI can produce more paddy yield with less external inputs. Furthermore, SRI is […]
