From MADAGASKAR to the Rice Terraces of Ifugao:
SRI validation and promotion in the province of Ifugao
by
ISAPA/SITMo
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
• Encourage Ifugao farmers to continue maintaining their rice terraces
Specific Objectives
• To show how SRI can improve farmer’s income
• To train a core of farmer trainers on SRI
• To produce appropriate materials for promotion
• To scale up SRI validation and promotion in the province
Key Outputs
• 275 Ifugao men and women were trained in the principles and practices of SRI
• 110 pilot demonstration farms were established (10 per municipality)
• Video documentation and project paper on SRI: the Ifugao experience
• Improved incomes among the trainees and practitioners
SRI Sites
• Hungduan - (1) Hapao
• Kiangan - (3) Nagacadan,Bayninan and Julongan
• Mayaoyao - (1) Mapawoy
• Banaue - (1) Bangaan
• Lamut - (1) ISCAF
METHODOLOGY
• Single plant per hill
• Equal spacing at 25X25 cm distance per hill
• Early transplanting (8-12 days old)
• Moist but unflooded soil
• Use of organic fertilizer
