Whether production costs and labour requirements for SRI methods are higher, equal or lower than in conventional rice production will depend on what is the current practice, the degree of intensification, and the types of changes needed to move to SRI practices (Thakur et al. 2013). Significantly higher yields increase, both labour and input factor […]

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a new technique for rice culture. The main features of this system are: transplanting of young seedlings singly in a square pattern with wide spacing, using organic fertilizers and hand weeding, and keeping the paddy soil moist during the vegetative growth phase. Significant phenotypic changes occur in plant […]
