0207 Potential Contributions of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) for Increasing Production with Pro-Poor Orientation and Environmental Benefits
The document discusses the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an alternative rice growing methodology developed in Madagascar that can potentially increase rice production while benefiting poor farmers and the environment. SRI involves transplanting young seedlings with wide spacing in unsaturated, aerated soil and can double or triple yields compared to conventional methods using fewer inputs like water, seeds, and fertilizer. Field trials in multiple countries found SRI increased average yields from 2-7 tons/hectare compared to conventional methods. SRI principles aim to help rice plants achieve their genetic yield potential through improved soil and plant management practices tailored to local conditions.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting pattern, plant density and integration of zeoponix and chemical N fertilizer (urea) on sunflower yield and yield components. The experimental design was analyzed as factorial based on randomized complete block with three replications. Treatments consisted of 3 factors which are different crop densities, including 2 levels. The population of plants was including 5 plants m–2 (d1) and 8 plants m–2 (d2). The second factor was planting patterns which were included twin rectangular rows (A1) and twin zigzag rows (A2). Different fertilizing treatments were selected as third factor consisted of the sole application of zeoponix (f1) and chemical fertilizer urea (f3), and integration of 50%zeoponix +50% chemical fertilizer urea (f2), that were at 3 levels. Results showed that there were significant differences in interaction of planting pattern, plant density and fertilizing system on plant height, stalk diameter, biologic yield, seed yield, number of seeds per head, 1000 seed weight, seed oil content and oil yield, protein content and protein yield and harvest index. LSD test for means of these traits showed that zigzag arrangement × plant population of 8 plants m–2 × 100% zeoponix (a2d2f1) treatment had the best performance and could be recommended to farmers for sunflower cultivation.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

10. The methodology raises many interesting questions that invite scientific study. But we have been seeing remarkable results from SRI methods in farmers' hands . Farmers often are getting better results from SRI methods than researchers do in their on-station trials.
11. In Madagascar , where yields average 2-2.5 t/ha, 100s of farmers in 2 programs (USAID and French) have averaged 8-9 t/ha over a 5-year period.
12. In China , the first SRI trials gave 9.2 to 10.5 t/ha . Although these levels can be achieved in China with the best varieties and best techniques, these take twice as much water as applied with SRI. SRI method used with hybrid rice varieties has given yields in the 12-15 t/ha range.
13.
14. In Cambodia and Myanmar , where conventional yields are even lower than in Madagascar (2 t/ha), farmers using SRI have averaged 5 t/ha or more with NGO guidance.
15.
16. In Sri Lanka , where the average yield is about 3.5 t/ha, farmers have averaged 8 t/ha with SRI, with a few farmers achieving much higher yields.
17. In Bangladesh , also with 3.5 t/ha average yields, stagnant for some years, farmers working with CARE and and the Dept. of Agricultural Extension attained 6.5 to 7.5 t/ha with SRI techniques.
18. In The Gambia , 10 farmers split their fields to compare the results using SRI and conventional methods. SRI gave them yields of 7.4 t/ha compared to 2.5 t/ha with their usual practices.
19.
20.
21. In Sri Lanka and Madagascar , some farmers have achieved yields in the range of 15 to 20 t/ha once they have built up the quality of their soils. The maximum potentials of SRI methodology remain to be realized.
