As an agroecological methodology, SRI provides farmers with a simple, clear, and relatively immediate illustration of the benefits of holistic soil and plant management based on aerobic soils, fertilization with organic matter, and significantly reduced plant densities (80[95% fewer plants in most circumstances).1 Despite the dramatic reduction in plants and the de[emphasis on synthetic inputs, […]
Irrigated rice cultivation has long been associated with large amounts of water. Currently convectional rice production is faced with major challenges of water shortage as a result of increasing population sharing the same water resources, as well as global environmental changes. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI), as opposed to conventional rice production, involves alternate […]
Rice farmers in Kenya are set to double their production, reduce seed wastage by 90 percent and cut on water costs by 40 percent, thanks to a new precise production method that significantly reduce plant population, improve soil conditions and require less water. Dubbed System of Rice Intensification (SRI), this low water, labor-intensive, organic method […]
