Abstract:
To meet future food needs, it is very important to increase productivity while reducing factors used for production such as land and water. One potentially promising technology for yield enhancement is the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar in the mid-1980s. It was developed unconventionally and is now recognized and implemented in over 50 countries. System of Rice Intensification is a set of improved rice processing methods based on several key ingredients and adapted to local conditions. Although the System of Rice Intensification has standard agricultural methods for growing transplanted rice such as sowing, transplanting, irrigation, weed control, and nutrition, there are significant differences in practice. Rice reacted more productively, resulting in unprecedented plant growth. The aim is to optimize the growth and development of aboveground and underground parts i.e. shoots and root parts which inwards increase yields. The System of Rice intensification system is the best choice for rice production to meet the needs of a growing population.
