we are practicing SRI in our farm for the past several years and reaping rich harvests.The grain as well as straw yield are better than those obtained from traditioanal method.we do our best to propagate this practice . K.Mohanan Senior Agricultural Officer
This is the way forward for rice cultivation in India. The unscientific methods we are using are no more sustainable. Government should actively promote SRI method.
Yes, completely agree. Especially small land holders that are already growing rice but struggling to make a living. The Best part is that it greatly reduces the costs of inputs while increasing the yields. It is an easy transition to organic standards as well when the land gets healthier and pests and diseases are less of a problem. When they have a certified organic product they can sell for much more money to Europe and the US.
The slide about determining viable seeds was really helpful. I am interested in planting rice for my home garden for personal use. When the presentation talked about greater spacing for richer soils, is there a way to tell how rich your soil is before planting? Thanks for the presentation. It was informative! 😊
I am practicing SRI for third year now by organic farming.Last two years I got 1800kgsof mapillai samba and Athur kichili per acre.The important thing is that we have to put more involvement and hard work in this method. Thank you.
slugs attack stressed weak plants they avoid healthy plants, especially during the few days that they let the field dry in the irrigation rotation. But they are not against using pesticides if you need them to transition as your soil and plants gets healthier.
Airish Pogi it’s up to you. If your land is very healthy you don’t need the advantages that hybrids bring. If you use an open pollinated variety you can save the seed and replant for free.
