Effects on rice plant morphology and physiology of water and associated management practices of the system of rice intensification and their implications for crop performance (2011, background): “System of rice intensification method aims to make irrigated rice cultivation more sustainable and profitable, as it not only enhances grain yield and net income, but also save considerable amount of capital, seed, and most importantly, water (Uphoff 2003).”
Influence of Crop Nutrition on Grain Yield, Seed Quality and Water Productivity under Two Rice Cultivation Systems (2013, background): “SRI is referred to as methodology, not a technology or fixed set of practices (Uphoff, 2003), to be tested and optimized under a range of different agro-ecological environments (Stoop et al, 2002).”
Does the system of rice intensification outperform conventional best management?: A synopsis of the empirical record (2006, background): “The theoretical case for (Stoop et al., 2002; Uphoff, 2003) and against (Dobermann, 2004; Sheehy et al.”
Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, background): “The adoption of these four general principles has been shown to lead to considerable increases in yields with reduced inputs of water and other external inputs (Uphoff, 1999, 2003; Stoop et al., 2002).”
