SRI Harvest

After a long wait due to last minute unseasonal rain furry and thanks to our age old harvesting practice. we got delayed with our harvesting cycle by atleast 30 Days.

Any ways late than never, last weekend we did our harvesting and much awaited yield results are out.

For the SRI, cultivated land was 17 Guntas. We got 12 bags of Paddy approximately 9.6 Quintals. So effectively on average yield we got around 56Kgs per Gunta.

We had another experimental stretch of 50 Guntas paddy grown with conventional method by seed broadcasting. On this we got 21 bags of paddy approximately 16 Quintals.

Here average yield is 32 Kgs per Gunta.

I can safely conclude that by SRI, we were able to get 75% more yield.

I am still of the feeling we could have reached 80Kgs per Gunta, Yes its a target for next cycle.

Hope my experiment results benefits.

All the best guys, Keep Experimenting.
