Participants at the training Council for Scientific and Industrial Research – Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (CSIR-SARI) has trained Agricultural Extension Agents (AEAs) and farmers on system of rice intensification activities under the Ricowas scaling up climate resilient rice production in west Africa project. Dr Issah Sugri, Senior Research Scientist at CSIR-SARI and Project Monitor, said […]
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food and being the most important ingredient of the food basket for most nations in Asia. The declining productivity of rice and its availability of per capita is therefore a policy concern. Nevertheless, the production of rice in Malaysia is primarily implemented by adopting the conventional technique. This […]
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 […]
