Site1. The traditional variety under SRI-Plastic Mulch is higher by 17.3% compared to hybrid under traditional farming;
Site 2. The traditional variety under SRI-Plastic Mulch is higher by 15.4% compared to hybrid under traditional farming.
Proves that in rice development:
Path not only gene-centered but also culture method
9. Core technology
Plastic mulch
Support technology
1. Dryland seedling nursery (from SRI)
2. Raised-bed : No-till or tilled
3. Transplanting young seedlings (from SRI)
4. Wide; Triangle plant spacing (modified from SRI)
5. Ditch irrigation – makes it aerobic (Intermittent irrigation in SRI)
6. Reduced but balance fertilizer based on recommended amount

21. 2.Why raised-bed?
Convenient for
drainage and
irrigation
Conflict - water and
temperature
Flood Low temp
Slow growth
Drainage Drought
Stop growth
• Only ditch irrigation –
saves water
• Increase temperature
in raised bed (aerobic)
28. • Allows the sun to hit the base of the
plants (Fukuoka’s experience)
• Prevents unproductive tillers at later
growth stage

•Organic no-till rice-canola rotation
•Plant residue of canola oil (rape seed) is used as mulch
