Insect Pest Incidence with the System of Rice Intensification: Results of a Multi-Location Study and a Meta-Analysis
No full textNot AvailableThe System of Rice Intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar has spread to many parts
of the world, including India. This study assessing insect pest prevalence on rice grown with SRI vs.
conventional methods at multiple locations in India was prompted by reports that SRI-managed rice
plants are healthier and more resistant to pest and disease damage. Field experiments were conducted
under the All-India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project over a 5-year period. The split-plot design
assessed both cultivation methods and different cultivars, hybrids and improved varieties. Across the
eight locations, SRI methods of cultivation showed a lower incidence of stem borer, planthoppers, and
gall midge compared to conventional methods. Whorl maggots and thrips, on the other hand, were
observed to be higher. Grain yield was significantly higher with SRI management across all locations.
Higher ash, cellulose, hemicellulose, as well as silica content in rice plants under SRI management
could explain at least in part the SRI plants’ resistance to pest damage. Analysis of guild composition
revealed that in SRI plots, there were more natural enemies (insect predators and parasitoids) present
and fewer crop pests (phytophages). A meta-analysis that considered other published research on
this subject revealed a lower incidence of dead hearts, white ear-heads, and leaf folders, along with
higher grain yield, in SRI plots.Not Availabl
