TUTICORIN (Tamil Nadu): A technologically advanced method is rooted in the success of a farmer from Kurukattoor in Alwarthirunagari block.

With the adoption of System Rice Intensification (SRI) method, John, a progressive farmer, reaped rich benefits in paddy.

With the key intervention from officials of the Department of Agriculture, the farmer reaped 4,000 kg of paddy per acre, against the normal yield of 2,300 kg. On his 10-acre farm land, Mr. John reaped a higher yield at a lesser cost. He said three kg of certified seeds of paddy variety BPT 5204 was used per acre during the Pisanam season.

Explaining the reasons for his success, he told The Hindu on Tuesday that bio-fertilizers like azospirillum and phophobacteria were applied in the nursery.

Line planting of 15-day-old seedlings was followed with spacing of 22.5 cm between rows and 22.5 cm between plants. Water management practice was adopted and cono weeder used at regular intervals to incorporate the weeds into the soil.

By this way, the weeder helped not only to reduce labour cost but also to generate new tertiary roots, besides releasing of organic nutrients from decomposed weeds, he said.
