SRI on the CIIFAD Homepage SRI , also known as the System of Rice Intensification is a methodology for increasing the productivity of irrigated paddy rice cultivation by changing the management of plants, soil, water and nutrients. SRI practices lead to healthier, more productive soil and plants by supporting greater root growth and by nurturing the abundance and diversity of soil organisms. The agro-ecological principles that contribute to SRI effectiveness have good scientific bases. SRI concepts and methods have been successfully adapted to upland un-irrigated rice, and they are now being extrapolated to other crops like millet, wheat and sugar cane. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) homepage on the CIIFAD website, setup in collaboration with Association Tefy Saina Madagascar, is an extensive, continuously updated online resource base on SRI. The site has sections detailing the methodology of SRI, its advantages, origins, current status in countries across the world, videos, articles, research papers, extension information, conference outputs, discussion communities, update series, newsletters and more.
