Challenges for enhancing rice production ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Among these water is becoming a critical factor

What is SRI ? ,[object Object],Features Planting young seedlings 8 – 12 days old Planting single seedling/hill Along with soil Wider Spacing 25 cm x 25 cm Organic manuring Compost , Gm , Straw No standing water till PI stage Alternate wetting and drying Aerated Soil Weeding by Cono-weeder

Claims of SRI method ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Keeping in view of the above, need to validate these claims, research work was initiated by DRR in 2003

DRR trial - A prelude to multi-location trials Results: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Season - Rabi 2003 Treatments - Normal transplanting, SRI with 12d old seedlings, SRI with 25d old seedlings, normal planting with wider spacing (25 x 25 cm).

Grain yield under different methods of crop establishment – Kharif 2004 Location SRI<NT SRI=NT SRI>NT SRI>ICM>NT SRI=ICM

Multi-location Evaluation of SRI Results of Kharif 2005 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Contd….

Crop establishment method for increasing yield in TP rice (SRI, ICM & TP), Kharif 2006 Locations - 27 Significant at 21 locations SRI method promising at 13 out of 21 locations ICM comparable with SRI – 3 (KNP, UMM, MLN) Standard transplanting at 5 locations (MND, KRK, MRT, CHP, PDY) Mean increase in grain yield across locations (21) With SRI - 11% With ICM - 8% SRI performance is better when nursery sowing date is same as compared to transplanting date.

Nursery dates are same Transplanting dates are same Performance of different methods of crop establishment in different regions

Vigorous root system (right ) under SRI SRI Conventional
