Patna ,Sept,30:The SRI (System of Rice Intensification) organic method of paddy cultivation that has been successfully implemented in Bihar has resulted in the increase of productivity.SRI method conserve water uses lesser seeds and gives significantly higher yield.

System of Rice Intensification method is popularly known as Srividhi, it was introduced in Bihar three years back. Initially, the farmers were reluctant to adopt this new SRI technique despite the state government providing free seeds, fertilizers and experts to guide them. But now more farmers have started learning this method of paddy cultivation.

Impressed with its success in Bihar, Southern state Andhra Pradesh is also replicating this method.

Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar has launched a SRI campaign to create more awareness about this scientific method and to encourage farmers to adopt it.

Sumant Kumar, a farmer in Darveshpura village in Nalanda district, had made a “world record” in December 2011 by producing 224 quintals of paddy per hectare using the SRI method.

Bihar Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh told that farmers last year achieved up to 40 percent more paddy yields by adopting SRI method of cultivation. “We hope that farmers would reap paddy harvests of 300 quintal per hectare in coming days,” he said.

Earlier this month, Surendra Prasad of Sarilchak village in Nalanda, about 100 km from Patna, produced 135.75 quintals of wheat per hectare using the SRI method.

Agriculture Production Commissioner A.K. Sinha said the government was planning to set aside seven lakh hectares for SRI method, six lakh hectares for hybrid paddy and more than eight lakh hectares for pulses, particularly moong.

Sangma during her visit to the state early this month lauded SRI method and asked officials concerned to spread it on a larger scale to increase the crop yield.

She visited a village in Gaya district where wheat cultivation was being carried out by the Sri method, an official said.

Farmers in Bihar’s Nalanda district are quite happy that potatoes grown by them through organic farming will be exported to Russia.
