		KIANGAN, IFUGAO- To increase the yield of Ifugao rice farmers and help preserve the provinceâs rice terraces, the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) introduced the system of rice intensification (SRI) to upland rice farmers.
		Shubert Ciencia, PRRMâs branch manger in Central Luzon, said the system was proven successful in doubling the yield of farmers even at a low cost and could even match the output of new hybrid rice varieties.
		They succeeded in painting, during the recent mid-year economic briefing, a country that has performed well in the first six months of 2005 compared with its neighbors.

		SRI, a system of rice intensification, developed in the 1980s in Madagascar, by raising rice yields significantly, could take some of the pressures of agricultural expansion off the watersheds, areas around the lake, and the marshes on the edge of the lake itself.
		The low-lying areas around the lake are considered as the country's "rice basket," having large stretches of suitable rice land.
		This town located on the southeastern side of Lac Alaotraâ€”Madagascar's largest inland body of waterâ€”is the commercial center for the region.

		The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has been tested to significantly increase rice yield from the country’s average of 3.5 tons per hectare to 12-15 tons while maintaining soil fertility, without the use of modern seeds and chemical fertilizers, and even less irrigation water.
		PRRM and the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) are jointly documenting SRI practice and validating results in a three-year project covering five (5) provinces (Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Camarines Sur, Negros Occidental and North Cotabato).
		The SRI is perceived by PRRM as best complemented by the use of SeaCrop, the brand name of its fortified organic fertilizer products.

		Thailand has a relatively well developed system of infrastructure, in particular a road network that has been greatly improved during the past 30 years and has opened up even thinly populated regions.
		The above-mentioned extension of Thailand's wet-rice areas during the last 30 years is probably in the main the result of such a local farm land expansion.
		Besides upland crops the areas under wet-rice cultivation in Thailand have also been expanded considerably in the last 30 years, although this tendency has gradually been decreasing during recent years (National Statistical Office of Thailand 1984).

	The system of rice intensification (SRI) for super-high yields of rice in Sichuan Basin
		This is the new record of super-high yield in Sichuan ecosystem, being 46% greater than the yields obtained previously.
		The improved SRI and super-high yield (12 t/ha) of rice in Sichuan.
		When the SRI methods were first introduced, rice yield was increased by 20%, and with the modified method (oblong and triangle) intended to suite Sichuan conditions, the increase was still higher, at about 55% (Table 1).

	Philippines activities - the System of Rice Intensification (SRI)
		Since unirrigated rice does not get transplanted, the main innovation was the use of mulch, which conserves soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and lowers soil temperature (thereby encouraging earthworm populations in the topsoil).
		BIND staff member Robert Gasparillo set up carefully laid out and measured trials on 4,000 m2 in 2002: 20 plots with 4 replications of 5 spacings (20x40, 25x40, 30x40, 35x40, and 40x40 cm) using an aromatic traditional variety, Azucaena.
		For an overview of experience the first two years, see Gasparillo's article from the Sanya, China, 2002, conference proceedings.

		It said Robert Gasparillo will talk on the System of Rice Intensification as an important approach to improve farm productivity and food security among its farmer-partners in Negros Occidental.
		Gasparillo is also expected to underscore BIND's relentless efforts in the promotion of organic farming and fair trade, it added.
		The program coordinator for food security of the Broad Initiatives for Negros Development Inc. will speak before the Share and Dare Fair of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperative in Berne, Switzerland, a press release from BIND said.

		He conducted his PhD field research on the process of Bugis migration to the Lindu region of Central Sulawesi, and then worked on various topics (social change as a result of rice intensification, traditional healing, etc.) in the heartland of the Bugis ethnic group in South Sulawesi.
		In recent years he has returned to Lindu for field work among the To Lindu people, investigating the way they are now representing their local custom (adat) as a community resource management system in order to gain greater local autonomy in the current political context of Reform.
		Greg Acciaioli received his bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago and master's degree from Stanford, and continued his PhD at the Australian National University.

		The Agriculture department is advocating improved water and crop management practices such as the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and the cultivation of sweet sorghum as an alternative crop, according to R. Navaneethakrishnan, Joint Director of Agriculture, Thanjavur.
		Farm ponds would help to harvest rainwater, recharge aquifers and raise a good crop of fish during the good years.
		Farm ponds like this one at Thanjavur will help to recharge aquifers and raise a good crop of fish.
