PRINCIPLES OF SRI

• Moist but unflooded soil conditions

  • SRI will only be successfull if you can drain off excessive water!
  • During tillering and before flowering, the soil should be kept only moist, but not flooded!
  • Allow the field to “dry” for 3-4 days every 2 weeks. It is no problem if “cracks” appear.
  • Once flowering begins, maintain a water level of 1-2 cm
