SUMMARY An evaluation was conducted in eastern India over three years, 2005–2007, to compare the performance of certain System Rice Intensification (SRI) practices: transplanting single, young (10-day-old) seedlings a square pattern; no continuous flooding; and use mechanical weeder – with those currently endorsed by Central Research Institute India, referred here as recommended management practices (RMP). All plots received same fertilization, combination organic inorganic nutrients, SRI...
With continually increasing demand for food accompanied by the constraints of climate change and availability quality soil water, world's farmers are challenged to produce more per hectare with less fewer agrochemical inputs if possible. The ideas methods system rice intensification which is improving irrigated production now being extended/adapted many other crops: wheat, maize, finger millet, sugarcane, tef, mustard, legumes, vegetables, even spices. Promoting better root growth enhancing...
Abstract The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) reportedly enhances the yields rice ( Oryza sativa L.) through synergy among several agronomic management practices. This study was conducted to investigate effects on plant characteristics and yield by comparing plants grown with different methods cultivation – SRI vs. recommended practices (RMP) focusing impact spacings. Performance individual hills significantly improved wider spacing compared closer‐spaced in terms root growth xylem...
ABSTRACT This study provides the comprehensive analysis of changes in mean and extreme temperature indices India to assist climate change mitigation adaptation strategies add information for global comparisons, using a high‐resolution daily gridded data set (1° × 1°) during 1971–2005. In addition recommended by World Meteorological Organization/ CLIVAR Expert Team on Climate Change Detection Indices, few more having social agricultural implication are investigated at seasonal annual scales,...
Core Ideas System of rice intensification increases crop productivity with lesser inputs. yields more productive and robust phenotypes from given plant genotypes. crops are tolerant to biotic/abiotic stresses it reduces GHGs fields. enables farmers adapt mitigate climate change. This paper reviews how why SRI can be considered as climate‐smart agriculture. Although there has been controversy over some the high reported Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) Intensification (SRI), an agroecological...
Intensification in rice crop production is generally understood as requiring increased use of material inputs: water, inorganic fertilizers, and agrochemicals. However, this not the only kind intensification available. More productive phenotypes, with traits such more resistance to biotic abiotic stresses shorter cycles, are possible through modifications management plants, soil, nutrients, reducing rather than increasing inputs. Greater factor productivity can be achieved application new...
The UN Development Program has set forth a roster of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for eradicating hunger and poverty with other consequential targets also to be achieved by 2030. Agroecological production strategies can help accomplish about half these goals, especially SDG #2 (zero hunger) #12 (action climate), utilizing biological processes potentials that already exist in crop plants the soil systems they grow in. These are not mobilized chemical-dependent practices create hazards...
The System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an agro-ecological approach to rice cultivation developed in Madagascar, has generated considerable interest worldwide. Having not been at a research establishment but rather from observation and testing on farmers’ fields, SRI attracted controversy, for example, with unwarranted objections that it lacked scientific evidence, being characterized as based ‘unconfirmed field observations’ (UFOs). One 2004 article concluded “the system intensification...
Rice is the staple food for half of world's population, and rice farming a livelihood millions farmers in Asia.In India, it provides an individual with 32% total calorie 24% protein daily.This crop mostly grown puddled soil by transplanting, flood irrigation practised farmers.Water or input to transplanted typically ranges from 1000 2000 mm depending upon growing season, climatic condition, type hydrological conditions.Facing water scarcity climate change, reducing requirement this...
