Individual and combined effect of management components of SRI on the productivity of irrigated rice R. Rajendran*, V. Ravi, N.Chelliah, and V. Balasubramanian * Professor (Agronomy), Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute (TNAU), Aduthurai, India
SRI Modified SRI • Management practices tailored to the local conditions • Practiced in different names - countries/region • As “modified SRI” in Tamil Nadu Initiated from 2002 in Cauvery Delta, Tamil Nadu
Objectives To study the individual effect of SRI components on rice productivity To study the synergistic effect of SRI practices To assess the factor productivity in SRI

What to do? • For farmer-friendly and faster adoption of SRI: • Strengthening of nursery & water management practices through community approach • Training of farmers and farm labourers in square planting • Mechanizationof inter-cultivation • Increasing awareness on healthy nutrient management, especially for N management
