Using system of rice intensification practices to mitigate climate change effects on rice production in Western Kenya

0 Comments

The increasing impacts of climate change and the demand for food threaten the productive and service capacity of agro-ecosystems. Consequently, adoption of irrigation alternatives that enhance water use efficiency in crop production is vital. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) increases crop water productivity through intermittent wetting and drying of rice paddies, under specific soil […]
