• Why agronomy in the developing world has become contentious (2013, background): “Critical Reviews of Plant Sciences have published vigorous and extended exchanges around for example the System of Rice Intensification (McDonald et al., 2006; Sheehy et al., 2004; Stoop et al., 2002; Uphoff et al., 2008) and Conservation Agriculture (Giller et al.”
• INFLUENCE OF THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION ON RICE YIELD AND NITROGEN AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY WITH DIFFERENT N APPLICATION RATES (2009, background): “China is currently the world’s largest consumer of N fertilizers, accounting for 30% of the world N consumption (FAO, 2001), with low N use efficiency, and apparent recovery efficiency of N fertilizer of about 30–35% for rice (Peng et al., 2006).”
• Rice yield and its relation to root growth and nutrient-use efficiency under SRI and conventional cultivation: an evaluation in Madagascar (2011, background): “Although the System of Rice Intensification has been somewhat controversial, e.g., Dobermann (2004), Sheehy et al. (2004), and McDonald et al. (2006) , a number of evaluations have shown substantial improvements in the productivity of land, labor, and water with these methods, e.g., Ceesay et al. (”
• The System of Rice Intensification and its Impacts on Household Income and Child Schooling: Evidence from Rural Indonesia (2014, unknown): “Uphoff, Kassam and Stoop (2008) criticizes McDonald, Hobbs, and Riha (2006)’s main finding – which shows SRI has negligible impacts on yield in most countries - because most studies covered in McDonald, Hobbs, and Riha (2006) apply only a few core components of SRI.”
• Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, result): “There has also been debate as to whether, on balance, yields under SRI compare favourably with best-recommended practice (McDonald et al., 2006, 2008; Uphoff et al., 2008).”
• Influence of Crop Nutrition on Grain Yield, Seed Quality and Water Productivity under Two Rice Cultivation Systems (2013, background): “However, these recommendations have encountered controversy and reports of yield benefits and phenotypical changes with SRI management have been challenged on various grounds (Dobermann, 2004; McDonald et al, 2006).”
• IRRIGATION, SPACING AND CULTIVAR EFFECTS ON NET PHOTOSYNTHETIC RATE, DRY MATTER PARTITIONING AND PRODUCTIVITY OF RICE UNDER SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION IN MOLLISOLS OF NORTHERN INDIA (2013, result): “On the contrary, some disagreement over the presumed benefits of the SRI method has also emerged (Dobermann, 2004; McDonald et al., 2006; Tsujimoto et al., 2009).”
• Raising Crop Productivity in Africa through Intensification (2017, background): “According to same authors, the yield gaps between the average and best farmers’ yields were higher in rice ‐ importing countries such as Indonesia and Philippines compared with rice ‐ exporting countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.”
