SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION

Presented by- AKRSP (I)

What is SRI??

A farmer from Bihar, India, has set a new world record in paddy cultivation over a hectare, using the indigenous System of Root Intensification (SRI). The previous record was China’s. Sumant Kumar of Darveshpura village under Katrisarai block of Nalanda District in Bihar yielded 224 quintal paddy per hectare beating the world record of Yuan Longping of China with 190 quintals of paddy produce per hectare. To check Sumant’s claim, State Agriculture Director Arvind Singh along with State in-charge of National Food Security Mission Krishna Murari, district agriculture officer Sudama Mahto and a team of agriculture experts, visited Darveshpura recently and found the paddy yield to be true. http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/23641-bihar-farmer-beats-world-in-paddycultivation. html
