 Who needs GM? Organic system doubles rice yield
In a paper presented during an assessment of SRI field tests in China last April, Robert Gasparillo, program coordinator for Broad Initiatives for Negros Development (BIND), showed the promise of SRI can be replicated in the Philippines.
Gasparillo said farmers found SRI interesting because it was able to increase yield to an average of 6.9 MT per hectare from non-SRI yield of only 3.5 MT. Moreover, SRI requires less amount of water--only 10% of what is required in traditional rice planting methods, allowing the farmer more flexibility.
Gasparillo also noted some constraints that may hamper the rapid adoption of the system in the Philippines such as high labour requirement for planting single seedlings, golden snail infestation in a newly transplanted field, can also be a problem and problems where draining of water could be difficult.
