SRI (System of Rice Intensification) at ECHO Asia Farm

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) aims to plant a single seedling and care for it well so it will yield more rice and reduce the amount of water needed to produce it! At ECHO Asia we grow rice using this system, having several trainings per year that involve participants in the process of planting and harvest!

What kind of cover crops you guys are using?

[@patricktrail8987]

We use Stylosanthes, Sunn Hemp, and Sesbania. We mostly relay crop them by overseeding into the rice 2 weeks before harvesting the rice.
