A review of the system of rice intensification in China

摘要

Continually increasing food demand from a still-growing human population and the need for environmentally-friendly strategies for sustainable agricultural development require innovation and further enhancement of cropping systems' factor productivity. The system of rice intensification (SRI) has been proposed as a suitable strategy to improve rice yields with reduced input requirements, most notably water and seed, while enhancing soil and water quality because agrochemical applications can be cut back.
