Study of the Adaptability of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) at Grison Garde, Acul du Nord, with New Nitrogen Fertilization Techniques and Weed Control with Sugarcane Bagasse

Summary: Agronomy thesis by Rochelyn Dona (Université Chrétienne du Nord d'Haïti, January 2016) testing urea, UDP and sugarcane bagasse in rice grown with the System of Rice Intensification at Grison Garde; urea gave the highest yield, 3.11 tonnes per hectare.
Key Findings
Full Description

The field trial at Grison Garde used a randomized complete block design on 36,000 square meters, with 24 plots of 150 square meters, to address the recurring problems of weeding and fertilization in the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). It compares urea, UDP, bagasse and their combinations with a control.

The results show significant differences in almost all parameters, so SRI can be adopted in the area. Urea gave the highest yield at 3.11 tonnes per hectare, compared with 1.54 for the control and 2.65 for UDP. An operating account was drawn up for each treatment. The author notes that other constraints on SRI in the area were not studied.
