Design and Evaluation of Soil pH IoT Sensor Attribute for Rice Agriculture in Central Africa

0 Comments

The IoT platform is a crucial middleware that allows us to walk safely in the field of IoT agriculture. The Rice Intensification System (SRI) uses less water and improves rice yield through the synergy of several agronomic management practices around the world. Rice is a staple crop for many countries and is one of the […]

Labour, Class and Technological Change: The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in West Africa

0 Comments

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) achieves higher yields with fewer water and seed by changing how plants, soil, water and nutrients are managed. This thesis explores the interrelations of labour, class and technological change arising from the spread of SRI in West Africa. The analytical perspective combines the Farming Systems approach with Marxist political […]

System of Rice Intensification (SRI): Impacts on Crop Productivity and Saving Water in Africa

0 Comments

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a package of practices that changes how rice is grown in paddies, which incredibly increases yields. Rather than fully flooded paddy systems, SRI involves among its practices, the alternate wetting and drying of paddies which saves water, use of less seeds, wider crop spacing, transplanting one seedling per […]
