Two years of experimental data from 260 farmer-managed rice […]
Research was carried out to develop a high clearance inter-row weeder machine with Android control system, to address the challenge of high crop damage associated existing inter-row weeding machines due to low ground clearance under the system of rice intensification. This research was carried out in three main stages namely: Preliminary studies to evaluation of […]
RICOWAS, the largest SRI scaling-up project to date, will be implemented over four years in 13 West African countries, starting in January 2023. RICOWAS can be considered a follow-on project to the SRI-WAAPP project, which was implemented from 2014-2016 and reached 50,048 farmers growing rice using the SRI method at 1,088 sites on 13,944 hectares […]
