Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect At 20 cm spacing, SRI practice gave higher rice grain yield than continuous flooding (7.3 vs 2.5 t ha−1).
- Intervention effect At 30 cm spacing, SRI practice gave higher rice grain yield than continuous flooding (6.6 vs 1.7 t ha−1).
- Intervention effect At 40 cm spacing, SRI management gave higher rice yield than continuous flooding (4.7 vs 1.3 t ha−1).
- Intervention effect Wider spacing under SRI did not produce higher rice yield.
- Intervention effect The water management practices proposed for SRI were found to be beneficial to rice growth.
