The System of Rice Intensification (SRI):   Opportunity for Food Security and Water Saving in N. Ghana? NARMSAP III Conference Tamale, Ghana December 16-19, 2002 Norman Uphoff, Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development
More tillers and more than 400 grains per panicle
SRI is giving remarkable and promising results ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SRI  IS  A  METHODOLOGY ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Basic idea of SRI is that  RICE PLANTS DO BEST ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
“ Starting Points” for SRI ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
These practices produce a different  PHENOTYPE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
 
 
OBSERVABLE  BENEFITS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

DISADVANTAGES / COSTS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SRI is COUNTERINTUITIVE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Plant Physical Structure and  Light Intensity Distribution  at Heading Stage   (CNRRI Research: Tao et al. 2002)
These results more often come from farms than experiment stations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
 
Spread beyond Madagascar ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Importance of Root Growth ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
 
Paths for Increased Grain Yield in Relation to N Uptake, using QUEFTS Analytical Model  (Barison, 2002)
The contributions of  soil microbial activity need to be taken more seriously ,[object Object]
