  1. IMPACT OF SRI IN COMBINATION WITH EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM TECHNOLOGY S. PUSHPALATHA, Chairperson, Ekoventure NGO, Puducherry

  2. EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM (E.M) TECHNOLOGY E.M was founded in the early 1980s by Dr. Teruo Higa, Horticultural Professor, Japan • E.M is a group of co-existing microorganisms in a culture solution. They are: • Naturally available • Not genetically modified • Environmentally friendly • Display co-existence and co-prosperity • Photosynthetic bacteria are considered as the pivot of E.M technology

  3. E.M contains mainly: Lactic Acid Bacteria (Lactobacillus casei) Found in yogurt and pickles, they produce lactic acid from sugars and carbohydrates and suppress harmful micro-organisms and enhance decomposition of organic matter Photosynthetic Bacteria (Rhodopseudomonaspalustris) Synthesize useful substances like amino acids, nucleic acids, etc. from organic matter and harmful gases(H2S) Yeast (Saccharomycescerevisiae) Synthesize anti-microbial and other useful substances required for plant growth from amino acids and sugars produced by photosynthetic bacteria

  4. LACTIC ACID BACTERIA Lactobacillus keeps away harmful microbes

  5. PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA Hydrogen Kitchen garbage, animal shed waste, sludge etc. Odorless Gas Ammonia Offensive Smell Transforms harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide and converts them into odorless gases

  6. Yeast The Bioactive Substances Such as Hormones and Enzymes produced by Yeasts Promote Active Cell and Root Division

  7. E.M TECHNOLOGY IN SRI FIELDS 1 litre EM 1 + 1 Kg Jaggery / Molasses + 20 litres of water 500 ml per acre foliar spray ACTIVATED E.M at panicle initiation 2-3 litres per acre per irrigation 5 - 7 days

  8. E.M TECHNOLOGY IN SRI FIELDS EM-FPE E.M Fermented Plant Extract (EM-FPE) to control pests 1. Neem – Azadirachta indica 2. Papaya – Carica papaya 3. Vitex – Vitex negundo 4. Pongam – Pongamia pinnata 5. Calotropis – Calotropis gigantea 6. Tulasi – Ocimum spp 7. Custard apple – Annona squamosa 8. Lantana – Lantana camara 9. Periwinkle – Vinca rosea 10. Euphorbia – Euphorbia tirucalli About 10-15 types of locally available leaves are soaked with Activated E.M for 7 days

  9. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PHEROMONE TRAP BIRD PERCH TRICHOGRAMMA PARASITOID PREDATORS

  10. PROBLEMS FACED 1. Agricultural labourers unwilling to transplant young seedlings 2. Psychological fear of farmers 3. Improper water management – no proper drainage facilities 4. Regular monitoring of field by the farmer is required

  11. PROMOTION OF SRI THROUGH … TRAINING FFS EXPOSURE VISITS PUBLICITY

  12. COST OF CULTIVATION

  13. RESULTS OF SRI FIELDS DURING JAN’06 TO JUNE’07

  14. IMPACT OF SRI IN ADJOINING VILLAGES …. 1. Seed rate reduced – to 5-10 Kg per acre At present, to pluck seedlings for 1 acre, it costs Rs. 600 to Rs. 1000 2. Adopt row planting –25 cm between rows 3. Use cono-weeder

  15. THANK YOU
