Analysis Of The System Of Rice Intensification

This method is, instead of being a technical strategy, a set of practices that are based on ideas and insights which contribute to the goal of creating a friendly environment for rice to fruitfully grow. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has its basic strategical ideas based on modification of management of seedlings, plants, soil, and water (3). Considering the simplicity of the tasks, farmers can adopt the practices relatively easily. The practices of this system are as follows (3): “seedlings transplanted at a very young stage usually just 8-12 days old, with just two small leaves; transplanting of seedlings carefully and quickly in order to have minimum trauma occurring in the roots; seedling are planted singly, only one seedling per hill, rather than 3-4 together, this avoids root competition; seedlings are planted with wide spaces between each seedling, so as to encourage a greater root and canopy growth; plant in a square grid pattern (i.e. 25x25 cm or wider); plant in good quality soil, and keep the soil well drained (rather than continually flooded during the vegetative growth stage); and weeding should be carried out at the early
These education institutions can educate farmers in regards to technical practices and methods in adapting to climate change. This will help mitigate the common mistakes that occur from traditional approaches in rice farming, increase efficiency and reduce damage of global warming. Farmers, with the knoweledge obtained from education, will have scientific guidelines that will assist them in their decision makings and a broader perspective in rice farming that can lead to innovative discoveries. For example, the FFS, an adult education system, educates farmers by generating skills, teaching knowledge based on scientific studies and encouraging innovation for creative and effective methods of
