SRI - System of Rice Intensification
SRI means something like system of rice intensification . This system is used to increase rice production by consistently supporting the growth and vigor of each individual rice plant. Agriculture in Madagascar is very dependent on rice, so large rice productions are important. In the meantime, SRI is also used in other countries, e. B. in Bihar ( India ).
