A Future Out of Poverty with SRI
In village 10, Bao Dap communes, Tran Yen district, Yen Bai province, 57 out of the 60 households are agricultural-based families. For years, Mr. Nguyen Van Thinh’s circle of relatives used to be one of the most 3 poorest families in the village. His spouse could no longer share box work with him due to her deficient health. His circle of relatives has just 5 sao (1800 squarem.) of rice field.

Previously he cultivated rice with conventional strategies that required huge inputs of seed, fertilizer and pesticide that he may no longer find the money for. Therefore the absolute best productiveness harvested was once 1,300 kg of paddy in keeping with sao. We met Mr. Thinh on an early May day at the Farmer Field School .
He simply gained 30 kg of rice as food help from the commune. In the recent crop season, with encouragement from the Commune and District Plant Protection Station group of workers, Mr. Thinh participated in the FFS and has an SRI trial on 2.5 sao of his rice field.
He excitedly said he would have a good first SRI harvest within the next month because the rice in his box is growing very well; every hill has healthy crops and extra productive tillers and a better selection of grains in line with tiller. On Mr Thinh’s SRI trial rice box, there is not any wish to spray pesticides and he invested less seeds.
On his different 2.5 sao of rice land, the place he invested extra seed, and employed workers to spray insecticides four occasions, the rice was not having a look as just right as in his SRI box. Excited from the results of this SRI field check, he stated that in subsequent cropping season he’ll follow SRI on all of his field.
He believes that he’s going to no longer need to receive rice help and soon might be off the record of the deficient households in his village.
