This document summarizes a farmer's experience using the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method of growing rice compared to his traditional practices. The farmer saw higher root growth, lower costs of cultivation, more weed infestation, and higher yields with SRI. Specifically, SRI reduced his costs by Rs. 3,700/acre and increased his income by Rs. 5,586/acre due to higher grain and fodder yields despite more labor for weeding. After seeing his success, 15 more farmers adopted SRI practices.
