Farmers’ Experiences Innovations and modifications Girish had facility of pump, diesel engine and pipeline. During the critical water stress period, he gave a critical irrigation to SRI plot at the time of grain filling stage. It resulted in tremendous increase in the yield i.e. 38 q/acre. Such critical irrigation requirements, where SRI is being adopted in rain-fed upland areas where crop is likely to face water stress, should be fulfilled to get maximum benefits of SRI method. Benefits Increase in yield and reduction in seed requirement. Constraints in adoption In the first year, when promotion of SRI was done along with Vermicompost application, farmers found it to be more time consuming. He also felt that it required skill at the level of every family members who are engaged in various stages of rice crop. There was more requirement for labour at the time of transplanting as the transplanting required more labour than the conventional method. As the farmers are habituated to do weeding in rice crop as per the conventional method, farmers found weeding practiced in SRI very tedious. Lessons learnt Girish learnt some aspects of SRI i.e. more spacing and line transplanting. It is learnt from this experience that promotion of SRI requires continuous follow up and training for the farmers at least for 2-3 years, since it requires more knowledge building at the level of farmers than actual support to them. Knowledge building about SRI should be a continuous process rather than on time training and demonstration activity for the farmers. A participatory monitoring and evaluation of SRI would help to facilitate the process of knowledge building about SRI at the level of extension worker and farmers alike. There is also a need to work on detailed scheduling of activities in SRI since rain fed SRI depends on the monsoon. 17
