Save and Grow Farming Systems Fact Sheet - 2/11

Abstract

The second fact sheet in the <I>Save and Grow</I> series presents the key points of the System of Rice Intensification in which rice is grown in moist, aerated soil. The system out-yields traditional flooded-rice production, while reducing the use of water, seed, fertilizer and pesticide. It increases production yields, emphasizes soil health, decreases methane emissions.
