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.…”
Validation of the system of rice intensification (SRI) in Bangladesh (2005, background): “However, these claims have recently been questioned in general (Dobermann, 2003) as well as through crop modeling conducted for SRI sites in Madagascar and field experiments conducted in China (Sheehy et al., 2004).”
Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, background): “Important questions remain related to the basic agronomy of SRI and to claims of large yields (Dobermann, 2004; Sheehy et al., 2004, 2005; Stoop, 2011).”
Can Yields of Lowland Rice Resume the Increases that They Showed in the 1980s? (2005, background): “Criticisms of these reports on SRI were made by Sheehy et al. (2004), Dobermann (2004) and Sinclair and Cassman (2004) for the extraordinary high yields, effectiveness of SRI practices, experimental procedures and publications.”
Agronomic Practices for Reducing Wheat Yield Gaps: A Quantitative Appraisal of Progressive Producers (2019, unknown): “Grain yield exceeding published values would be questionable, as this analysis considers crop transpiration and maximum transpiration efficiency (Sheehy et al., 2004).”
INFLUENCE OF THE SYSTEM OF RICE INTENSIFICATION ON RICE YIELD AND NITROGEN AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY WITH DIFFERENT N APPLICATION RATES (2009, background): “Others have suggested that SRI has no inherent advantage over conventional practices and that the extraordinarily high yields reported (up to ca. 20 t ha−1) are simply the consequence of measurement errors (Sheehy et al., 2004).”
Does the system of rice intensification outperform conventional best management?: A synopsis of the empirical record (2006, methodology): “ Sheehy et al. (2004) applied a dynamic rice model to simulate theoretical yield potential for several regions in Madagascar given site-specific climate characteristics.”
