http://www.leisa.info/index.php?url=article-details.tpl&p[_id]=74519 Performance of SRI in Nepal Average rice yields in Morang district in Nepal are low because farmers use older-generation seeds and cultivation practices are not optimal. Having read about the success of SRI (= System of Rice Intensification) in other countries, the author decided to try this technology on his farm, with excellent results. This encouraged several other farmers to plant their regular season rice crop using the SRI system. They found that SRI rice needed less time to mature than conventional rice, and that all but one SRI crops yielded at least twice as much grain as traditionally grown rice.
