La Representación del IICA en Nicaragua en coordinación con la Asociación para la Diversificación y el Desarrollo Agrícola Comunal (ADDAC), desarrolló visitas de seguimiento a parcelas demostrativas bajo la tecnología del Sistema Integrado del Cultivo de Arroz (SRI, por sus siglas en inglés) con el propósito de verificar el avance y el estado en que estas se encuentran. La tecnología del Sistema Integrado del Cultivo de Arroz - SRI, es una metodología que ofrece beneficios al pequeño productor.

The SRI methodology, which reduces the economic cost and environmental impact of rice farming, is contributing to renewing production on farms in Costa Rica and other Latin American countries.

Gabriel Garces Varon. 2018. Resultados Promisorios del Sistema Intensivo del Cultivo del Arroz (SRI) en el Tolima. Arroz 66(536): 24-31. (to see this article, go to page 24 of the attached magazine): Conclusions: The SRI system favors the expression of the tillering potential of the plant and its radical growth with respect to conventional transplantation. The potential yield of the SRI system is greater, so it is essential to achieve an adequate establishment of the crop.It is possible to reduce the water consumption in the SRI system.

In this Spanish language video, José Israel Lopez from INTA Nicaragua tells us about Nicaragua's work to implement SRI methodology. He shares that producers, at first, were hesitant because the new methods were far from what they were used to. However, when they began to see results, they were impressed. The average yields on their SRI trial period averaged 6.8 tons per hectare and their conventional trial had an average yield of 4 tons per hectare. José is confident in the future of SRI in Nicaragua and is excited to see producers learn more about it.

Rena Pérez reported on progress with the Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI, or SiCAS in Spanish), a methodology adapted from SRI principles. Two years after her 2012 presentation (see article) on SiCAS to Cuba's sugarcane industry, Perez learned of a sugarcane cooperative in Las Tunas that had adapted the SiCAS methods in a dry part of the island to use three-bud setts, which both reduced the required planting material and increased the yields...

“I would have never imagined that it was possible for me to harvest 5 to 6 tons of rice on one single hectare of land—it’s such an extraordinary feat for me.” - Leo Andres Pablo Julson.
SRI-Rice's insight:
This USAID-sponsored project, Feed the Future (FTF) West, has been successful in doubling yields for some of the farmers in Haiti. Hopefully SRI will continue to spread there on its own as the project is apparently ending in May.

On June 3-5 of this year, Earth Links completed an SRI training for smallholder rice farmers in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. The project is a collaboration with 4 of our partners; Three Americas, ADDAC (Association for the Diversification and Development of Agricultural Community), SRI-Global and IICA (Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture). The training took place on a site selected by ADDAC. In attendance were 30 men and women farmers and 3 Agricultural Technicians (who may become trainers) that were introduced to SRI by a lead trainer from IICA, Didier Moreira.

Upcoming Radio show on SRI in Venezuela: En Venezuela, una sequía de casi tres años afectó una de sus principales zonas arroceras: Calabozo, en el estado Guárico. Esto, aunado a la escasez de semilla y otros insumos, condujo a una fuerte caída de la producción.

“Lo que queremos es que la producción de arroz en Chile sea más sustentable, que mire hacia una menor carga química” señaló la coordinadora del Programa de Mejoramiento Genético de Arroz de INIA, Karla Cordero, al referirse al énfasis que INIA le está dando a la producción sustentable del arroz.
SRI-Rice's insight:
"What we want is that the production of rice in Chile is more sustainable" said the coordinator of the INIA Rice Genetic Improvement Program, Karla Cordero. Merging herbicide-free management and SRI (System of Rice Intensification) experimentation is part of a reorientation towards a sustainable production.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la productividad del cultivo del arroz mediante el estudio del tiempo óptimo de trasplante. Se plantearon 4 tratamientos para la investigación; trasplantar a los 25 días de germinación (dg) como testigo (T), a los 20 dg (T1), a los 15 dg (T2) y a los 10 dg (T3), cada uno con 5 réplicas, con un diseño experimental DBCA. Se utilizó la variedad INIAP-11. Al evaluar los tratamientos se observó que el T3 fue la mejor variante en cuanto al número de macollos/planta (37,02); en lo referente a producción obtuvo el mayor rendimiento con 4,9 Mg.ha-1; también desde el punto de vista económico fue el más rentable, con una utilidad de 2125,99 (USD/ha), por lo que se concluye que el trasplante de arroz a los 10 días de germinado potencializa el desarrollo agro productivo.
